Spilling Rubes: Episode 3
THE LOST EPISODE
The original episode aired live on KWTF.net on October 14, 2014, but unfortunately, I did not record it properly, so it is lost forever. Instead, I share a nice little five minute monologue about me and Spilling Rubies and where we are all at these days, so take a listen!

Song played:
“Lost” by Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra from Theatre is Evil
