In a big break in format, Jessamyn and I spend the entire show doing nothing but answering your questions! For over two hours; it's an epic. Featuring few bonus voicemail answers from Eyebrows McGee and write-ins from other mods on a couple things. Thanks everybody for calling in, that was a lot of fun!

We got a bunch of great questions and answered as many as we could; we ended up having to skip a few because of repeat questions (y'all like recipes I guess!) and unworkable audio (google voicemail remains an enigma at times), so if we missed you this time around we'll try and get you during the next one. Big thanks to everyone who dialed in.

There was soooo much to chatter about (and/or me a Jess are soooo incapable of shutting up) that there was no time for normal podcast stuff, so we'll get back to site-rundown stuff next month. Of which, we're doing another Women's March post-a-thon all month this month, so if you've been thinking about posting now's a great time to jump into the pool!

Anyway, here's a few links that came up as we were talking:

- EatMe: food threads on the wiki (could use some updating!)
- a pair of old fashioneds
- shrim++p by cortex
- the old Ask activity view
- A moment of mod appreciation by potrzebie
- on yearly hangouts by Fizz
- Adrienne Shelly
- Notes from the Metafilter research panel at AoIR's 12th conference
- lewistate's dissertation on community ethos
- WHAT THE FUCK MATT origin
- this good good broccoli recipe via hermitosis

Also, I tossed in a few musical breaks, all snippets from umbú's delightful Bach vs. Wurlitzer jazz riffing on the classic Bourrée.

Thanks again, everybody!
