D8 Night

Audio Proficient: New Intro, Full Cut with Bloopers

As it gets closer to our podcast’s one year anniversary, we needed to make a new intro… and we wanted to record some new midrolls.

Here is the full audio from that session… unedited, uncensored. Maybe don’t listen to this at work or with your kids around, unless you use headphones.

This bonus episode shows you why we typically record midrolls without the whole crew.
