WHOOPS! The last half of show 130 didn’t get released to our regular audience on time. The youtube was present and the Patreon backers had access but the scheduled events didn’t go. Terribly sorry about that, but they should be in your feeds now. Mea Culpa.

1. So the Cubs won. Let’s hope that Back to the Future only go that part right.

2. It is also the 28th Anniversary of They Live, which is also frightening in its parallels.

6. http://www.snopes.com/2016/10/12/how-should-voters-respond-to-unlicensed-poll-watchers/

7. The panel predictions, In the Hillary pool, David +30 and Stephen +20, In the Trump pool Amber narrowly, Andy finds it too close to call within 15 electors either way. All panelists are pulling for Hillary.

Welcome to ORLYRADIO #129 recorded Friday October 21th, 2016 - 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 my usual suspects, Fred Sims, Stephen Griffith, and Amber Biesecker

Introductions are in order as we have a new panelist, Amber Biesecker is an author, editor, actress, and activist with a background in game design and criminal investigations. Passionate but rational, she has a reputation for devastatingly thorough research and creative cursing. She drinks and she knows things. And rumor has it she is not to be fed after midnight.

Amber gets to tell us a couple things about herself and why on earth she would want to podcast.

• Wyrmwood Publishing on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/wyrmwoodpublishing/
• Lana Hart (my pen name) on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/writerlanahart/
• Lana Hart on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/author/lanahart
• Genre: Paranormal Romance and Horror

In fact it might be a good idea to round robin and reintroduce ourselves.

And then… a recap of the debate.
