Raw Naked Tome!

This episode had one rule, no preparation at all...and be awesome. I guess that's two rules. It was a blast, it rambled, it gets awkward at times, and it was legendary!
This episode featured Matt Goetz (freelancer) and Fred Hurley as guests and a wild studio audience in the chat room. Man that was fun.
Typically we record episodes on Mondays at 8PM EST and you can find the live broadcasts on Mixlr. Join us! It's crazy fun.
