Before Brad, Ben, and Tony take a well deserved mid-late-summer vacation, they settle in and deliver another spectacular episode of Fat Robot Radio. Mr. Slayer checks in, All Hands On Deck (fresh from their triumphant appearance at Quad Sing) stops by to perform their new single, and Brad tells a story more embarrassing than the one about Ben running around drunk in Brad’s yard with his pants down.

EPISODE TEN! Can you believe it? We can’t. When Fat Robot Radio launched upon the world so many months ago, who knew it would explode into the world wide super-phenomenon that it has become? Way bigger than that movie about aircraft dwelling reptiles, and rightly so, as this week Brad, Ben, and Tony bring you the sort of high impact, thrill a minute, blockbusting entertainment you’ve come to expect from a low quality, poorly produced podcast of no distinction. Especially one that is distributed for free on the Internet. ENJOY!
