Chris and Ed open the inbox one last time to close out the week of too many treats. Thanks for joining us on this 5 episodes in 5 days run to celebrate our anniversary. We'll probably start answering e-mails more quickly now! 

The week of too many treats continues with ALL HAT MAN ALL THE TIME (plus one little bonus story in there).  So join us as we go through a bunch of listener-submitted stories chronicling their potential run-ins with the man himself.

If you listen to the show, then you know we’re the pits when it comes to e-mail. It’s part that we’re bad about checking, and part that we get overwhelmed when we do. So we thought it would be fun (aka: a long grueling chore) to spend our anniversary trying to make up for year of un-replied to e-mails — RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.  Let’s open the inbox and hit send on the first of 3 listener-engagement-ridden Anniversary BONUS EPISODES.
