Julian Assange-Skate or Die

joshhornig196@gmail.com (Josh H. and Jared M.) — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 11:00:00 +0000

Editor’s Note: so this week’s episode is one that we claimed we lost last week. Due to some technical magic from Jared, it has been saved. The original episode 13 is still gone, but this one actually ends up being the same episode number it was originally meant to be. Very confusing and convoluted sounding, and we would have it no other way

This week, Josh and Jared are joined by themselves. Together, they come up with a name to describe the listeners of the podcast (Captives… by Consent). Josh describes a bad day at his job and how he handled the situation. Next, they discuss the Julian Assange situation and their personal opinions on his arrest.
