When There's No Power
- Episode 560
- June 13, 2018
- 500
560 weeks is a great track record. And to keep the record going, we were here. However, our studio (and much of our city) are without power. Our UPS batteries are depleted, and there's no possible way to go live as we do every single week. But we're here. And we want to say hi in spite of our inability to broadcast the regular show. See you all next week!
