LSD, Conference Panels, and Other Merry Pranks

Episode Summary

We kick off with a recommendation fiesta before Brandon and Chris dive into what's wrong with the current state of tech conferences, why "talking heads" are overrated, and how well-constructed panels could breathe some fresh air into the conference scene. They also reimagine Jackass in the 70's on acid.
