Episode 0006, Part 1: More Than Meets The Eye!

The Basement

Episode 0006 starts NOW! Join Albert, SP, and Jeremy Dennis of the Transmissions Podcast in the first of six parts dedicated to toppling the monolith of pop culture references that is Chapter 0006! Each show will be a grab bag of authors, tv shows, cartoons, movies, directors, and music so you'll never know what you'll get...unless you read these notes of course. Anyway, join us as we try to answer a question steeped in controversy, “What the heck ever became of Hauler?”
