It’s always a pleasure to have Jim back on the podcast.  I’m sure that this topic could swirl up a little controversy.  Feel free to have at it in the comments.

I was so happy to finally get Dana on Necessary & Sufficient.  Watch out for the bonus round:  douchebag.

This episode is a little longer than the average one, which should be no surprise to anybody who has spent any time with Lukas and me.  I clearly had fun, and I think we hit on some important stuff here.  Enjoy.

I am so pleased to welcome Lisa and Jerry back to the podcast.  Today we hit another long-time-coming kind of topic.  I am sure that no two (or three) people would have the same conversation about this area, but I was quite happy to be a part of this one.

It was great to have Erin on for the first time–she’s a double threat, podcasting-wise:  smart and funny.  And smart about funny, which might make her a two-point-five threat?  Not sure how the credits work on that…

Josh returns to for some more comix geekery.  We don’t discuss the Hero’s Journey this time around, but H.P. Lovecraft does make an appearance.

Megan, along with Tom from episode 40, is one of the first genuine persons of widespread cultural import to join me on Necessary & Sufficient.  I also have the pleasure of working with her on an almost-daily basis in our day jobs, where we have precious few conversations like this.

Here’s Erik and me talking about something for which neither of us had really prepared (understandable, in his case at least).  We managed to have a pretty good time though, I think.

Add another stamp to Necessary & Sufficient’s passport.  Direct from the UK, my old cul-de-sac mate Tim Redfern.
