There has never been a suggestion I have so sincerely been thank you for more than this from Xander. I joke about his suggestion not showing up, but I was wrong, dead wrong. A couple days after the recording the review he spoke of popped up in the feed.

Oh boy, am I grateful to the magnificently talented Amey Goerlich for taking over the hosting duties today! Initially, I was a bit skeptical about performing in an episode inspired by Alchemy This. Let's face it, trying to talk about improv is like trying to explain a joke - it rarely lives up to the real thing. But hey, We are giving a shot in a different way.    This episode would not...
