    30: Homecoming

    Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

    Listen to Episode 30.

    After another hiatus we return with a new slightly longer format. New episodes will be released once a week from now on.

    Returning to our roots in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, Luke and His Dad recorded the episode in the basement of our family home. No real show notes this time around, but we did discuss the primaries, Hazleton politics, familial influence on personal politics, and the very mixed feelings about moving Ed’s 93 year old mom into an assisted living facility.

    The music during the break was supplied with much love but no permission by Six Organs of Admittance, from the record For Octavio Paz.

    As usual, send as an email or voice mail through lukeandhisdad -at- gmail, gchat, Skype, the Gizmo project or 412-567-2979.

    See you next week!
