Episode Episode 185: Mondays at The Overhead Wire - Getting Delivery Dominance
This week on Mondays at The Overhead Wire we're Han Solo, but got some great and interesting news for all the sickos out there. We talk about the legacy of Hope VI, tracking Amazon packages, trash can politics, and the silliness of letting protestors kill something before they've even protested for real.
