Episode 3 - Melted Crayons

Episode 3!!!

Okay, so I saved the original movie and it was too big for blip, so I saved it in a very low-quality, e-mail friendly form. I HATED it! So I went and uploaded it a second time in a *better* quality setting! If you got some bizzar error, this is why. ;)



Now for the show notes!

I will warn you, because we did not podcast last week, this episode is twice as long. A bit of the silly factor that we usually keep in check may have come out.

**Please note! If I can link specific items (i.e. the shop has them in stock) I totally will! If not, I will put a link to the shop so you can browse their other awesome items. :)**
