079 - “Theftry Bezos” or “Goodnight”
CENSORIOUS as we know it draws to a close, as The Gang announces 2 NEW Podcasts in the Cricket Podcast family launching in coming months. Chris wrote a short children’s book about Jefferey Bezos, or Theftry Bezos the Weasel. The reading is followed by a roundtable about the future infrastructure of our society. As the lads say goodbye they look back on 3 years of laughter, hard work, and censorious tales. Thank you for laughing with us, thank you for loving us, we love you, we fear you, goodnight.
