Up a Paddle - Episode 47 - Double Double Toil and Bubble

If you count the specials, I've done 52 episodes (including one over again).  Yay me.  Yes, this is as good as it gets.  I hope to hit the 52 mark by April just so I can say I have a biweekly podcast (about).  

So what better way to start fake episode 52 but with some retractions and corrections

Mail
I read some comments from Eeeper (Eeeper's Choice) and Dane (Anime Pacific).  Well, I paraphrase their comments.  I go off on a rant about Canadian prices not adjusting to match the value of our dollar, and then our Dollar goes down again.  Figures.

Also, I give a quick shoutout to Anime Roundtable for playing my promo recently.

It sucks.  Get it?  Because it's about vampires and ... Actually, it was all right, if not a little on the short side.

It sucks.  Get it?  It's a call back  ... Well, it's not bad but it's not particularly good.  It does have an awesome villain, though.
