The Wayward Cast Returns! Episode XVI

Ladies and gentlemen, I got the crazy urge last night to bring back my podcast. It’s been nearly a year since my last one, and in that time — though I’ve grown no wiser nor improved at all morally — I’ve, well, I’ve become more of the sort of person who should be doing podcasts. Basically, I asked myself, “Harper, if you don’t do this, who will?” And I answered myself, “Possibly lots of people, and many of them can and will do it better — but, Harper, none of them will be you.”

And so I gathered up some CDs and MP3s and thoughts and put this little jam together. It’s basically me bullshitting and introducing songs. I hope some small part of you gleans some joy from it. You will have to download it via a third-party host because it’s apparently too large a file for our servers to shoulder, the pussies.

Note: During the podcast, I believe I say that this is my 14th total podcast, but it’s really the 16th. I had my numbers wrong. The 15th was filed on October 3, 2007, and features me talking to a guy pretending to be Tim Finn. There will be more of that kind of thing to come. Oh yes.
