Listen On Your Favorite Player:

Year In Review — a particularly impressive tour de force this year given the craziness of 2020 — you’re sure to love this live exposition of its highlights.

Chris sits down here with Dave to dig more deeply into several of the more significant and salacious themes, as well as wander down a few entirely new avenues of thought.

This discussion is a true end-of-year treat, completely free-ranging and unscripted, and given the massive spectrum of topics to address, notably longer than our average podcast.

Enjoy!
