Fast Charles' Power Hour Episode 18 (End of Biochem/Gen)

Fast Charles and Stumpkiller bring you a lively, beer-soaked episode filled with classics and too much fun. Important questions are addressed and metaphysical Gordian knots are cut, including whether or not Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a good show, whether or not Band of Brothers is a good show, and whether or not American paratroops jumped into Germany in WWII. Important announcements about the future of Fast Charles’ Power Hour are included. Enjoy!

From the subcontinent to the banks of the James, everybody’s honky tonkin’.

“I’ve always been right. Once I thought I was wrong and I checked…it turned out I was right.” – The Killer

Behind the Scenes (In the Studio)

I don't have another completed episode yet (but one is fortunately in the works). To slate your thirst for all things Fast Charles I have decided to post two pictures.

The first is from the Episode 15 recording sessions up in the Owl Perch with Suncloud, Mackey and Black Barbara:

The second is in my new upgraded studio in Richmond. A debate is ongoing about the name, but Mosby Court and Squatter's Paradise have been suggested. Notice my heightened level of safety:
