In This Episode!

Hello, ReNerders! In this episode, Matt and Chris discuss a ghost-only dating service, a confusing new TV show with ant-aliens who control brains, and eating labor cookies (or contraction cookies) prepared by Chris’s wife as they await the arrival of their newest renerdling!

Oh yeah, they also talk about Warren Ellis and his works The Authority and Planetary.

Notes, Thanks, Apologies, Etc.!

Sorry for the delay in getting this episode out, buuuut, those contraction cookies worked (like a week later), and Chris and his wife Ris welcomed their second child into the world! YAAAY! Couple that with the holiday season, and voila! the episode comes out later than usual. The good news is that you’ll be getting another episode even sooner!

We are not sure why the audio sounded so different during our Planetary discussion, but we are still learning!
