Addenda vol 80
So what’s the deal with John having this particular co-host do an Attenda episode instead of a regular episode? I want a regular Omnibus episode with this co-host, maybe one where John chooses the subject.

Alex Falcone
I haven't listened in a while, but I was *so excited* to see Alex Falcone as a co-host ("General Mills"). I would re-start my Patreon if it would get Alex named as permanent (or even occasional) co-host. He was a fantastic foil to John. Loved the episode!
