Back in June the guys of Anything But Credible invited me on to their show to talk about what I've been up to and plug the Birthday Show. I wanted to return the favor and invite them on to Rock Paper Podcast to get to know them a little better. We had a lot of laughs talking about some crazy new stories, conspiracy theories, and the first year of their podcast.
