Basement Archives: ”Cornbread Forehead”

Before the Broadcast Basement On-Demand Radio Network, there were just some guys screwing around in a basement. This is one of the few episodes preserved from the original (not very good but sometimes funny) Broadcast Basement Podcast. This episode from 3/20/2014 features a bit we thought was funny called "Urban Dictionary" and the mention of a trip to Hawaii that leads to the "Closet Baby" episode also on this feed. More importantly, Kate Seabury from Stitcher was our This Week In Podcasting guest with some insight on what podcasters were dealing with in 2014.
