The Insatiable Broken-Faced Man (CIB #237)

It’s another episode of your favorite podcast, and it is somehow one of the shortest episodes we’ve made in a long time but also as it turns out just about our normal two hours of yapping. What strange majicks make such a thing possible? Failure and editing, that’s what! Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
