A POV game based on "Walden" is the only way Chad would read Thoreau so we talked about it at Cafe' Bacci with noted Chicago Theatre intellectuals Shade Murray and Spenser Davis and really got after it. Chad didn't do the show that weekend either and Shade and Spenser DID so it like, double worked out. So here's Spenser and Shade reviewing Walden the Game which is an actual game.

Action packed.

In the time of "alternative facts" it's more important than ever to know your Science. Chimeras and Hard Hydrogen are coming, America, read a book! Or just listen and stay up on it.

Featuring: Mike, your Bartender; Gladys aka Lauren the Furniture Collector; Patrick aka Noodles the Philosopher; Brian Heath the Good Neighbor; Troy the Guy We Met on the Way and as always, Clark Bender.

In the wake of the raging speed yacht dipped in bullshit of a 2016 Election, some stuff got looked over. Like how seven states legalized recreational marijuana. Don't worry, Chad's on it.
