Episode 79 Overview

While I do like researching and producing my monthly News & AMA segments I have a large collection of links to stories that either I don’t get to or that interest me but may not qualify as “news.”

I occasionally tune into the “Meanwhile...” segments from The Colbert Show on YouTube and I was inspired to collect random (and randumb) chocolate stuff and present them to you.

While I don’t expect this will become a regular monthly thing (though is certainly more than enough randumb stuff to fill hours of episodes), this is a pilot episode to try the out idea and have you tell me what you think. Thumbs 👍 up and you want me to do more of these or thumbs 👎 down – one episode was more than enough.
