Hurricane Irene and Other Things
Hurricane Irene turned out to be kind of a dud for the two of us. A dud until Alex lost power for a day hours after the storm had passed by and while it was sunny out. Anyways, welcome to the new version of The Whiteboard Podcast. Alex and Raz will talk news and pop culture every week. This week we talk about the hurricane, some US politics, Mad Men, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones and The Jersey Shore. Try to guess which of us likes which before you listen!
