Episode Ninety-Four: John Hodgman
In This Episode:
One of the most exciting developments we've had in a long time... John Hodgman came to the Damn Library! We had so much to talk about that we didn't even talk about a book-club book, just Hodgman stuff! A truly delightful episode, with all the wit you'd expect. Oh and Hodgman is very funny too.
