It is with a heavy heart that we report that Jan has been hit by an avalanche and couldn't record a new episode of The Age of Podz this week. So instead of a new episode, here's a clipshow of outtakes which we had to cut out of our Illinois season because we were accidentally talking about songs that are on the compilation "The Avalance". Weird how that happens.
