    So, episode 52, one year anniversary, and as promised I'm throwing the doors wide open to you. What would you like us to talk about on the show?

    Questions make the best starters, but try to keep them concise. It makes them much better for the show when I can get them out there quickly and get the conversation flowing.

    Topics are also good, be sure to include a take or at least a focus to give us some ground to go on.

    Aight, with that, let the good times roll. Reply to this thread.
