"Now That You're Awake"

In the wake of Charlottesville, we got together with Bob Roarty and Megan Leach at Atlanta Vintage Books to talk about what to read as we're processing this weekend's events.

If you're looking for history, hope, or ideas to carry forward, we hope this episode offers you something helpful. There are a few expletives, so be careful playing it at work or around kids.

Although iTunes had to be our first submission, we're going to be working hard to get it on all of the popular podcast apps/services, so let us know which ones you use and we'll try to get to those first.

For now we plan on posting a new episode every other week, with the hopes to turn it into a weekly show at some point in the future (if schedules and children allow). 

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for listening.

 

Finally, our first episode:

 

Almost There

Hey everyone, I know it's been a few weeks. We've already got several interviews under our belts, and are getting the final pieces ready to debut our premiere episode. In the meantime, here are some behind the scenes photos:
