Dogear Nation » Podcast

While Andy continues his hunt for our one Chinese listener, Kelly continues to fill his seat with witty banter. The Michaels continue to look for the best of our listeners’ tags, and our listeners wonder, what have our hosts gotten themselves into. With a major Technotronic section this week, we have an exciting, exciting show. So tag, rate, and subscribe with a big cup of your favorite beverage, and enjoy the show.

Michael, Andy, and Michael come together this week to a plethora of user tags, and somehow we get very morbid with our discussion. Is Second Life dead (again), can hero’s come back to life if they are played by Cats, and why do we keep hearing tweets from the dead? All these questions will be answered… So sit back, grab a beersicle from the freezer and enjoy the show.
