Episode #27 of DRS has been successfully recorded and by recorded I mean we now have even more material for that bloopers reel we’re eventually going to do. In all seriousness, though, it was a good show, despite any bullshitting that may have occurred beforehand…
As for me, I’m dreading this week. I’m working […]

Hey, folks, here’s another episode comin’ at ya quick and dirty. We let our hair down a little this week and discussed the topic of theme. Theme is how the writer impacts the reader on an intellectual level, and so that makes it kind of important, but that didn’t stop us from making jokes of […]
