Feedback
Johnny Fiesty:

Hey guys,

this is a song I wrote for the scenario where somebody wants Wil Wheaton to appear on their podcast, but he only wants to talk about dancing. Yes, this makes no sense whatsoever, but I thought it was appropriate since Renee is “famous” now for interacting with him 🙂

Also, I work downtown. If you’re downtown, we should get together for lunch sometime. I’m going to Nerdtacular and I would feel stupid if we didn’t meet up before going to Utah. 🙂


Art Vandolay:

Renee and J are a fantastic couple who provide unique content focused around their life. Great for fans of cooking, movies, or someone who enjoys a unique perspective on everyday life, this podcast has something for everyone.

Art Vandolay, Shakeylegs, and Jason from Gaming After Dark Radio listen every week and you should too!!
