At long last Graham Clark, the co-host of Stop Podcasting Yourself is on the show and there is a twist! For the first time in Town Show history we have a guest host. Christine Bortolin is in the Ryan chair to co-host with Mark and learn all about Graham growing up in Calgary in the 80s. They talk about Graham’s intense fandom of Alf, Jared Leto’s Italian accent, trick or treating in a gated community, biblical accurate angels and so much more. Graham builds another cursed retail location that can’t stay in business and he makes 7-11 knock-off convenience story “6:30 - 10:30”.

It’s time for another round up and we have the the most controversial letter of all time: Someone tries to name the town! We also build an insect museum called The Thorax Gallery, we try to escape a Townover themed escape room called Stupid Town. We have an audio message from Maria who suggests a cross country snowboarding course and a compost scandal. And get a scam business that claims to be able to shrink or grow your dog. It is a packed episode!
