135: It's A Dang Podcast

Best of the Web: the MetaFilter Podcast

It's me! It's Jessamyn! It's a damn-the-torpedoes, full-amble-ahead ramshackle of an episode as we catch up on MetaFilter, talk a bit about the recent US politics discussion changes, and just recklessly chat about this and that while I enjoy a nice big glass of wine. Covers November and runs about 80 minutes.

We threw caution to the wind structurally this time, so links are all over the place. It's like a scavenger hunt for subsites!
