Opening the Vault

At listener request…
Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been painstakingly placing our old shows back on the main XML feed. Now you can listen to all 39 car crashes through the feed in your podcast client. That’s about 5 hours of free treatment for your insomnia, because we love you and are concerned for your health.
Only the infamous April Fools Day show is missing from the feed, but you can find it on this site if you look hard enough.
