EP 0001 - Get Yourself A Cult
Mark and I go through the biggest recent events in our lives, from transitions in my workplace to his preparation for his first competitive powerlifting event and how reading helps shape the way we see the world. We also get into how I might have accidentally joined a cult a bit later on and sometimes you just gotta make lemonade when Jim Jones hands you lemons.
We're very much trying to pin down the show's formatting and the finer points of recording, so point out the flaws you're seeing so we can make corrections.
