BeanCast 182: The Mommy Borg

LISTEN TO THE SHOW NOW OR SUBSCRIBE FOR AUTODOWNLOADING

The first show of 2012 is truly outstanding.

First, we had three weeks of topics to choose from. Second, we had amazing panelists. And third, I was rested enough from the break to dive in with gusto.

So in other words, this didn't suck.

I have to admit, though, for a January 1st recording date this panel was surprisingly alert and engaged. They either didn't party enough, or they were all Louis C.K. fans. And on that point, don't mind my inability to say "louie." It's just a thing with me.

Hope you enjoy the program. And please remember, I'd love some more Twitter followers to continue the conversation there. Just follow @TheBeanCast.
