Let's take a trip back to summer 2015 for this archival episode featuring the first half of Mark Colomb's farewell, and, notable for our purposes today, this show's first appearance of Mr. Benjamin Rathert, an incredible storyteller and friend who's bringing our show to southern Illinois this Friday! If you live anywhere near Du Quoin and would like to catch us on the road, drop the Nerdologues a message on Facebook and we'll let you konw all about it!

Meanwhile, you can enjoy Ben's first appearance, which features a bunch of wonderful stuff, including I think the best song ever played on this podcast.
