So There I Was Hangout Episode 139
Welcome to the first ever So There I Was Hangout. Being as it's the holiday week we are publishing this hangout as a show. Sound quality is rough in some parts and it's not a 'smooth' interview... but there are thousands of folks who didn't get to come hang out with us. We will do a "Best Of" show on New Years Day - and plan on resuming with regular interviews on the 9th January! We had a ball chatting with so many folks. We will do this again! Come join us next time!
