The Rant: Extra half hour included

(note: the first 28 seconds is bad music, we hit “record” too soon)

It was a big day for The Rant.
In addition to the show gaining an extra half hour … the following happened today:
• The PODcast, hosted by Sports Editor Alex Podlogar (get it?) followed with its first-ever 30-minute sports talk show.

• We gave away tickets to a Nine Inch Nails concert today (congrats, Miranda … we’ll give away another pair next week).

Other stuff we talked about:

Podcast: The Rant Oct. 15

OK, so it was a crazy week at The Rant.
First off, we had TWO guests … and not at once.
Our first guest was Paul Cox, the North Carolina Press Secretary for the Barack Obama campaign. Second, we had representatives for the ARTober Fest in studio this morning to talk about Saturday’s event.

Then it got weird.
First, it was a phone call from Fat Tony.
Then it was odd baseball talk.
And suddenly, the last 20 minutes of The Rant just got really out of hand. Perhaps we should have just stopped at the one hour mark.

Anyway, hear for yourself. It was a weird one indeed.
