say, is this ‘geeky history’ or ’stuff Wes is into’ history? Baseball is the national pass time, and can hardly be considered ‘geeky’… Especially being that you never mentioned any of the many Warner brother’s cartoons based on the poem. You’ll never get a lame wiki page devoted to this podcast at this rate.
(Yes, I edited your post. Volcanicast is explicit, but this show is officially rated PG and we actually are trying to keep it as G as possible)
Actually, Jenny and I pick the topics together. The topics must almost always pass both of us to make it into the show, and this one in particular did in fact do just that. Baseball itself may not be “geeky” but a poem you loved as a kid but totally forgot about for years counts - to us - as geeky. Remember, the topics here are ones that a geek would find interesting. As a Geek, I found this one interesting and so did Jenny.
There have been topics that we’ve considered and dropped, and others that we’ve considered and kept, even though they were not strictly “geeky.” Amusingly, this was not one of them; this one we were both on board from the start.
