Cape Town Community Podcast: Ep. 028 “Life is Like a Box of Pizza, & Other ‘Flashpoint’ Similes”
Originally published on August 7, 2011.
We’ve been off for a week—but we’re back with a supersized episode! While we only discuss eight books (plus an impromptu “Grounded” chat), there’s a lot of news to keep us going a bit long. Plus, we have plenty of announcements at the end of the show regarding our next Comic Con appearance, future episodes, and our brand-spanking-new website design. So listen on listeners!
