WEEK FIFTY-TWO: The 1918 Podcast

It's the end of (looking at an) era, and Jeff and Vinnie conclude the 1917 Podcast with an hour-long look at what they WOULD BE talking about in the 1918 podcast, if they devoted another 52 hours to it...and also a sneak peek at what they'll be doing instead. Plus, a Ted Williams sci-fi dystopia story, the phrase "Gregory Peck with Frank Oz's hand up his @$$", and the time Vinnie almost found religion.
