Show Notes for TWS083: The World is Out To Get You (Sick)
A small personal note: this week I bid a sudden farewell to Chuck and Kreg of Technorama, on of my favourite

them all the best in the future.
On the show this week:
- Life Will Go On..
- The birds and the bees do it: mysteries of sight unsound…
- Evilization?
- The other 90% of the show. (EXTRAS)
