This weeks podcast brought to you by the excellent guys at Geek Label, Pen and Paper Games, and the Nut Gallery Review. Be sure to check them all out.

While we may be light on links for you this week, we certainly aren’t light on staff. Or slightly weird sounds. Don’t worry, it’s just production kinks as we switch over to our new mixer. Oh, and History Dave is in the hizzouse…. so it’s sure to be a fun one! This week’s theme is Zombies… why do we love ‘em, and how can we do more with ‘em? Or, it’s the Anna Nicole show, we’re not really sure.

Enjoy!
