“Cool, cool, that’s cool, cool!”

On October 11 2005 we posted our first show. Flash forward 20 years and I thought it’d be fun to repost it since it’s been archived offline for a long time. It’s pretty rough. I remember drinking a bunch. For some reason we kept saying cool over and over. Jenny’s intro is probably the best part. I miss those. And having an itinerary. So yeah… 20 years.

“Is this really a podcast or a wellness check?”

This week on the Crankcast…  it’s an abbreviated abruptly ended “show” that’s probably more of a proof of life than an actual podcast.

“Children’s Palace was a wonderland…”

This week on the Crankcast…  I guess we’re doing shorter shows now? The Kickstarter for Battlepug has launched and already reached its initial funding goal! The Revival TV show has aired three episodes and it’s good! We also talk about toy stores from our kiddie days and read some mail! Exciting!
