Episode 9!

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Darren Shimp! With school out for the summer, this is our first week away from the cozy "professional-grade" studio on campus - please bear with us as we work to tweak the transition to the home studio (which is not really in Michael's mom's basement, but in cramped spare bedroom in his apartment). We have a great show with all new content for your listening pleasure this week, so grab your glove and head for the outfield, because here comes the Can of Corn!
