EPISODE 28 – FAIL!!!!!

1 Jul

Episode 28  – Podcaster’s curse!

We got away with podcasting for a year, but at last – we got hit by the podcaster’s curse. Recorded for about 1 hour 20 minutes, with our special guest Lisa, all looked good. We finished, hit the stop button, it was there. Then boom – one second later it was gone! All gone. Well not all – for some reason we have about 15 minutes left. BIG GIANT BUMMER!!!!!

We were too tired to re-record – chatting with your friends IS hard work! Anyways, we’ve got about 15 minutes of Michele talking about her  ghetto neighbors. Totally worth hearing – much better than soap opera. Better than reality TV.
