The Periodic Table of Episodes

We're filling in a periodic table as we go, episode by episode, right here! All episodes are posted here for convenience's sake, including Episode 0: Everything The Light Touches and The Episodic Table Of Elements Holiday Special. Hovering over an element will display the episode's title. Start from the beginning, pick your favorite obscure element, or throw a dart at the dang thing and see where you land!

A quick note about quality: You might notice that earlier episodes, especially the first three or five, tend to be a little rougher around the edges than the later ones. (At least, I hope the later ones sound better.) It definitely took me a little while to find my footing as a host and editor. It's tempting for me to go back and re-record those episodes, but I think there actually might be some value in keeping a record of my progress as a podcaster available. If nothing else, take it as evidence that podcasting is a medium that truly has low barriers to entry.
