S4YA S3E2 – The Arrival – Twilight Zone

No, we’re not talking about Natalie Portman or Charlie Sheen, we’re talking about the S3E2 episode, “The Arrival” with Paul Csomo from the Varmints Podcast!

Paul Csomo is a fantastic fella. Aside from his Discover Pods Award-Winning Show Varmints, he also maintains a consistent presence in the podcast community at large. You can find him as a main voice of the Underdogs Podcasting group on Facebook and you can barely throw a rock without hitting him. It was great having him on the show!

If you want to find out more about Paul, hit him up on Twitter or check out his stuff over at Blazing Caribou Studios! Varmints is everywhere and I recommend giving it a listen, especially if you have little ones!

Now, onto the show!
