New Season (Again), New Format (Again), New Co-Host (This Is a First). As faithful listeners know, I'm not afraid to try out new topics and formats. Heck, in some ways the first 100 episodes were one big experiment for Think.Live.Repeat.. Well, today I pull back the curtain on something that's been in the works for over a year. Maybe you'll love it, maybe you won't. Check it out and let Ken Rusk & I know!
