This goes WAAAAY back in the archive of The Changelog. So far back, that our audio was down-right horrible and you can tell we were nervous to even be recording. We were green and wet behind the ears when it came to producing a podcast (we had no clue).

Natalie Weizenbaum and Chris Eppstein joined the show today to discuss Haml, Sass, and Compass.
