Welcome to ORLYRADIO #165 recorded Friday, September 22nd, 2017 - where we dismantle the current events for your edutainment through mostly rational conversations that make you go ‘Oh Really’! I’m your host Andy Cowen with the usual suspects, Daniel Atherton, Amber Biesecker, and Stephen Griffith.

We make mistakes. Please, if you find one, pause the podcast, and send us a note. orlyradiopodcast@gmail.com or phone it in 470-222-6759
