Happy Thanksgiving!
George, Jeremy and John pulled me up to the barn just in time to get a shopping show together for your Holiday Listening pleasure! Actually, we'd planned this all along-knowing that so many of you enjoy the insight and conversation between friends.
This is our 4th Shopping Show and it's always the highlight of our yearly podcasting adventures. While we have a load of fun doing these shows; it's our hope we can help you make informed choices regarding big and small purchases this Christmas Shopping Season!
Handi-talkies, Mobiles, Portables and Packables all get time in this episode along with some insight on budget and starter gear. There's room for everyone, even if you're still stuffed full of turkey!
So, take us along as you brave the crowds for overnight shopping! Plug us in one ear while you're forced to sit through another lame 3-hour Commercial..I mean Thanksgiving Parade. Share us with the in-laws, you know they love hearing about your 'weird' radio hobby! Whatever-just don't miss out on this episode!
We're all Thankful for the time you spend with us and truly hope you and your family enjoy the brightest of Seasons!
