Happy (almost) new year party people! Chris and I have one last gift for you as we close out 2025 - the Year of the Snake. 🐍

We have just posted a very special episode of Corbin vs. The World that features your hero (me) and his loyal producer (Chris) breaking kayfabe and talking about the journey (not the band) our goofy little show has taken since we launched it back in the pre-COVID Cambrian period. We've done over 130 episodes of the show since it launched (116 more than Firefly) and we feel like we've earned a little self-indulgent victory lap. We'll get the chance to answer some age-old meta questions: How much of the show is written at the very last minute? Does Corbin pick the music or is it actually a team of squirrels with good taste? Do we actually have a plan going into next year? All of those questions (and more) will be answered on a very special new episode of Corbin vs. The World now available at www.loudspeaker.org or wherever you get yr podcasts.

Hosted and written by Corbin David Albaugh. Production and additional material by Chris Lanphear for Loudspeaker Studios.
