Episode Fifty-Six: Holiday Snowisode 2016
In This Episode:
During a totally random hangout, the guys get snowed in and decide to record a holiday episode! Then, from out of the storm, an unexpected visitor: Uli Beutter-Cohen, founder of Subway Book Review! Because that's how they always do holiday episodes on the TV. Drinks are drunk, halls are decked, and Christmas trees are discussed at length.
Other Highlights:
* Subway Book Review is amazing.
* Uli just created a new literary newsletter: Eye Level. Check it out!
* Christmas music, because, of course.
* Holiday art, both the bad and the good
* Joy. Just, joy - because we felt like we needed it.
