CS Live #13: Literally Cask Strength

We're drinking some Cask strength whiskey. How has this taken 13 episodes to be the theme? Wouldn't be a 13th episode without some weird unlucky tech issues of compression and freezing now and then, but all in all the luck could have been worse!

Here's the poll for merch ideas: https://www.facebook.com/events/923029624571524/
