Episode 255: Fate Hates Me

We (well, "me," Bart...) lost over an hour of audio when Bart looked at the display and realized that it was recording a blank track...the audio driver was dropping Voretaq. We lost feedback, some discussion, some swearing...the usual...but added some other material to make up for it (kind of...)
