Listen now

Description

This week Ryan and Luke sat down in their favorite pub in London and hashed out what is, perhaps, the greatest debate of our time: Whether or not paid verification on Twitter is good or bad.

And, finally, thanks to everyone who came out to Bad Posters Club in London last night! It was a blast!! This is a public episode.
