Ready for a New Normal 06/15/2020

Ready for a New Normal The show has necessarily taken a turn towards things that are more urgent, more important than the usual schtick we peddle. It reflects where our heads and our hearts are. Things like video game news pale in comparison to what we believe could be a moment in time that marks a true beginning for long overdue change in the country we live in, and indeed around the world. /episode/index/show/theoutliers/id/14836751

The Time Is Now 06/01/2020
