Editor’s Note: Mike writes the show notes. I think his “funny” commentary on our show is a waste of time. If you’re in agreement (or disagreement for that matter) leave a comment on this page (http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-002-we-record-this) to let us know. I managed to steer control of the first couple episodes to a more link-oriented style, but Mike takes direction about as well as a six year old hopped up on Pixy Stix.
