PROGRAM 22: AMERICA AND ETHIOPIA HAVE WORDS [07.19.12]

Feels like it's been a while since there's been a show without a grand theme. A return to normalcy? The new normal also apparently means I take 6 weeks and a day to process every podcast. Guess what, we're back on the air this Thursday/tomorrow at 7pm. Death is back, so expect their to be some sort of tribute to Bill Doss of the Olivia Tremor Control.
