115: Boaty McBoatface, with barchan
Coasting in fashionably late, it's Ep #115 of
Best Of The Web, wherein jessamyn and I chat with the geologirrific
barchan about dunes, oil rigs, industrial accidents, her dog who also makes a couple cameos, and all kinds of MetaFiltery stuff. This show covers March 3 through April 7 and runs for just under two hours.
