We had our first live podcast, and it was a big success and lots of fun. We will definitely do another one sometime in the next year... however, since we had the advantage of visuals, we ended up referencing lots of things that the audience could see, but podcast listeners would likely be a bit confused. So instead of releasing the live show, here's the studio version of it. Did the FBI and the CI...
