Open Mic Gripe Podcast

Happy New Years Eve all! We wanted to release one more episode in the 2015 year and that honor goes to Cohosap! Cohosap was an awesome group of co-homo sapiens named Anna Renner, Annie Winter, Donald Renner, and Michael Lamont.  We griped about so many things that we had to have a special year-end 1.5 hr show.   We griped for a long time because, as you will notice, the mic cut out.  The sound also isn't as great as usual, as we had to use a different mic to accommodate everyone and we apologize for my (J. Vanrye) laughs and normal speech causing such distortion on it. Please join us in this great gripe session where we discuss stochastic terrorism, accountability in media, the politics of fear, and unfriending these people on facebook and that's only in the first 30 minutes!  I was also shown the error of my sexist ways in only having DiKoins and will now be offering the crypto-currency of KlitKoins as well!    Check out Cohosap on Facebook and Soundcloud!  Also, that radio show is done, so pay no attention there - but make sure to keep sending your gripes to openmicgripe@gmail.com and sending messages to or putting comments on our Facebook page!
