Beef, Wine & Shenanigans

his week, Denise Tapscott, Marc Abbott, Kirk A Johnson, and Steven Van Patten put the nerd stuff aside and talk about the current wishy-washy way local and federal politicians are rolling back COVID restrictions and our reservations about it. We also discuss how even though we are dead set against Russia’s attack on Ukraine, we are also pretty appalled at the racism at the Ukraine border. Also, along with www.speculativefictionacademy.com, we figured tonight would be a great night to remind you of the following websites and maybe help support this podcast since it is your favorite and all! ...

But nothing was as special as just hanging with him at the bar. We’ll miss him, but we will also remember to keep his loving spirit alive in our hearts. See you on the other side, Brother!
