Podcast Description
The guy who left voicemails on Podcaust and Braindead Radio got tired of waiting to become a guest and instead created his own show. In which a rotating group of guests (But mainly his best friend Randall) discuss all there is about movies, tv, video games, and whatever is just funny or strange. All the while Ed sits in the dark, wearing nothing but a v-neck.
