ISBW #146 – EXPLICIT – Live from Balticon, with John Anealio, Gail Carriger, and Matt Wallace

We are proud to have GoTo Meeting as a sponsor! Get a Free 30-Day Trial!

This is live from Balticon with return guest Gail Carriger (@gailcarriger), songwriter John Anealio (@johnanealio), and Bad Cop Matt F. Wallace (@mattfnwallace). This is not safe for work or kids. We are explicit here. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

(NOTE- at the beginning when I flub the show number, I whine that I haven’t even been drinking, but because my audience was laughing at me, all you hear is “been drinking.” I promise I was sober for this one.)

(Note, ISBW still does not advocate the harming of anyone. That’s all Matt.)
