We did it, kids! We made it to 100 episodes! This one is completely fan-driven. I just sit and address listener mail for the whole episode. It was fun. I talked about wine, comics, wrestling, swearing, a recent twitter fight, and if I prefer the Beatles or the Stones, among other things.
In the episode I mention that my buddy (and one-time podcast guest) Jim Ousley has a Kickstarter going for his newest comic book venture. Back The Atonement Bell at this link. Or you can pick up some back issues of Butcher Queen here, or the volume 1 trade here.
Otherwise, thanks for 100 episodes! Check out the blog at http://emptychecking.blogspot.com for pictures and more stuff!

God's holy trousers! There's a new episode of Empty Checking! In this long-awaited return you're getting a half-year report on music that has come out in 2021 and also my review of a couple books by Tatiana de Rosnay. This is episode #99, which means episode #100 is up next! I'm taking two weeks between because I want to get some listener mail in to read on the show and I want to give you plenty of time to send it in to db@derekbrink.com (or to comment on the Podbean page or at the companion blog at http://emptychecking.blogspot.com). Thanks so much for your patience and support. It's good to be back!

In this 8 minute almost-episode I explain that my computer isn't letting me into my account but my phone is. Who knows? I also babble about The Tragically Hip and Gord Downie for a little while. So we're getting close! :) Talk to you soon!

Look...I had too much vodka before recording this...but basically I promised to record a new episode for 6/20. And I think I meant it this time. Thanks for your patience. This has been a very difficult period, but I'm glad I have this outlet. new episode on Father's Day. I mostly promise. Probably for sure. Maybe. Probably. Listen to the thing. If you want. And so on.
