The Noise Upon Which The Signal Of The Internet Rides – NUTI: Episode 48
Editor's Note from Shane: This episode was recorded back in mid-November. I don't really know why it's taken almost 3 months for me to get this one edited and out, aside from <gestures broadly at the universe>. My bad. We've got a few more in the hopper that I'll try to get out in a more timely fashion. For those of you that listen, we're not going anywhere. We're not letting you off the hook that easily.
