There are many reasons I’ve stuck with Overcast. This is not one of them but a delight to know nonetheless.

TIL about ARS-based programming.
Enjoying nothing but Les Gordon right now. So damn good. 🎶

You know you’ve listened to a lot of The Talk Show when you see a SodaStream and wonder just how different your life could be with fizzy water at the ready. Thanks, @gruber, I guess.
