The Talk Shoppe S9E2: Tom's Euro Trip

Welcome back everybody! On today's episode, the boys chat about Tom's recent trip to Northern Europe. As is tradition, there are a myriad of rabbit trails, non sequitur, and general tomfoolery as well.

Note from the editor: "I forgot to mention that apparently everyone in Northern Europe has a sever allergic reaction whenever a fan or AC unit is around, so they were, at least in the places we stayed, nowhere to be found. Also Stockholm was having a RECORD heatwave. And we all had traveler's colds. It was quite miserable." ~Tom

The Talk Shoppe S9E1: The Beginning of The End

Hey y'all, we're still alive! Not for long though. You may have noticed that our release schedule is non-existent. It has become increasingly difficult to find time to do these episodes, and a lot of the time, we all kind of wish we were just hanging out, not recording. So, with that in mind, we will officially be ending this podcast by this next February. It's been real, but it's time to move on to greener pastures. At any rate, here's another episode, and there are more to come before we're done.

 

Cheers,

The Talk Shoppe Gang

The Talk Shoppe Megasode 2023

Just when you thought we were gone...

 

We are BACK with a much delayed Megasode to summarize the year of 2023. You all know the drill: we meander through music, television, movies, video games, and disappointments in typical scatterbrained and raucous fashion. If it can be a joke, it will be a joke. So join us, if you will, in our continuing journey to bring laughter and entertainment to up to 10 people! WE'RE NOT DONE YET!
