The new year: Is it false joy or boldly fruity? Give it a chew and decide.

Episode 113: Boldly Fruity is a potpourri episode where hosts Bill and Shaun walk in not knowing what the other is going to discuss. A paper bag full of gum, a writer’s toolkit, various poems…

Episode 113 coming out today. Bill and Shaun come in with their own topics and see how they mesh. As always, poetry and wackiness will ensue.

You heard us right . . . Get the details in today's episode, wherein we discuss all things having to do with messages in a bottle. NOTE: The Nicholas Sparks' book doesn't fare well.
