Also, this is the first time we've recorded an episode on Tracy's iPod, so if you like the quality of it, let us know in an e-mail or facebook wall post. We'll be going on vacation next week, so as usual, the podcast remains irregular. Enjoy!

This week's episode is a pubcast - as such, listener discretion is advised. There are a few eff bombs, and we are podcasting from a pub discussing adult beverages, so use your judgement when choosing to listen.
We discuss the documentary Beer Wars, which discusses how microbrews are fighting for space on shelves with the Big Three (Budweiser, Miller, Coors) in the USA. We also discuss other trivia, so pull your favourite pint (or other beverage) and tune in!

Ep 57 - Cereal
This week's episode covers a favourite of all school age people, whether you're going to kindergarden or college - CEREAL! We discuss healthy vs. sugary cereal, The Road To Wellville and how cold cereals were invented and a certain cereal bar that seems like a hippy/beatnik place but has a very different agenda behind it. Enjoy!
