“Wanna make fire? These are matches!”

We’ve been working for a few days trying to move everything over to our new home at SquareSpace! Thanks to the folks over there for designing our new site, which we think fits the overall themes of our little club quite nicely.

Scott Johnson joins us to talk about why we have all these awards shows, review the late night controversy, and lament the nature of the spinoff.
