    The one where I podcast by myself. It's a mini episode this time around. I talk about Anthony Bourdain, his work in comics, and talk a bit about Anthony's Cleveland episode of No Reservations, featuring comics legend, Harvey Pekar. This is my small way to remember him. If you're a fan, I hope I did him justice and I hope that you enjoyed this. If you're not, or only vaguely familiar, I highly recommend seeking out anything he's done, honestly. It's all entertaining.
