As it makes its triumphant return next Monday. If you have never heard of or listened to #Qwerpline from @LoadingReadyRun I highly recommend checking it out. Especially if you enjoy comedy in the form of a fake local news radio station, and ridiculousness. My wife and I love it and regularly re-listen to old episodes.

Here's a playlist of past episodes.
