dunceCast Episode 40 – Burning Out is Better than Fading Away, but We’re Fading Anyway.

Today on the dunceCast, we are a bit scattershot. We experience terrible puns, as well as the mundanity of everyday routine. Is there more to life that this? Will we ever discover the true identity of Assman? For one of these questions, the answer is no! We’ll let you speculate on which.

dunceCast Episode 38 – Living The Dream

Sorry about the delay folks, also sorry about the periodic popping in the audio. I tried to clean it up a bit but there’s not much I can do. Hopefully it is still listenable.

This week we are back to discuss the election. (Dear God what were we thinking?) We also talk a bit about how we are all racist bastards. The death of “The American Dream”, and a tiny bit about my new game.

dunceCast Episode 37 – Is There a Television Pokemon?

On this episode, we’ve run out of ideas, but we still manage to play a Pokemon guessing game, talk about good television (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiam), and not-so-good television (7th Heaven). There’s also a bit of spillover Witness discussion. Spoiler free. 🙂

Enjoy!
