#207: Netflix and/or Chill
18/10/2017 Duration: 20minQNA TRIVIA PODCAST 207: NETFLIX and/or CHILL (This one goes out to the late, great Gord Downie.) This week, Tony Hightower temporarily goes solo to ask 30 questions about things distantly related to Netflix programs, and things that are pretty chill. We also have our Name Threes round, where logic gives way to free-association, just a little bit. We normally record this live, every Saturday, from One Star Bar in Chelsea. Come see us live to catch things that didn't make the podcast, and perhaps win some prizes. Let us know how we can make this better! Thanks for listening, and if you dug it, tell whoever you can, however you can. (If you don’t, tell us. We want to be your right hand in the war against ignorance.)
