Give Up, Give Up: Transmission 201, 2015 April 28

We begin our third century with an "only slightly imperfect" episode. I've been on a good run lately. The real downer on this night was that our planned "Physical Evidence" release finally managed to surface on iTunes, about 15 years after the fact. I believe that's twice Tim Cook has defeated me now; he's making a game of it. Still, Lady Catharsis contributes the track "Christianity Is Stupid," sure to irritate friends and family alike.

Confession: my favorite place to listen to these mixtapes after the fact is the treadmill. They are surprisingly good for the purpose. If I cannot impress anyone else with this program, I will at least impress myself. This is my affirmation for the day. I need these things--I've been considering taking a break lately, having just seen two other programs do just that and seeing their hosts seemingly dropping substantial spiritual weight.

There are two more programs recorded and in the pipeline. That's as much as I can promise. I could always get run over by a bus, you know.
