The ARIYNBF Live from L.A. Podfest episode is finally here!

I did a live episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend at the L.A. Podfest with Doug Benson and Greg Proops and it was delightful and possibly drunken and included spontaneous dancing and singing. It’s available as a special premium bonus episode for sale in the iTunes store for $1.99. Please love it, you know, if you want to.

Get it here.

Oh! We are considering making it available for people who don’t use iTunes (currently it’s only available in iTunes) but are trying to get a sense of how many people want this before doing it, as it’s no small pain in the heiney. So if this is you, let us know in the comments.

Special thanks to graphic design extraordinaire Randi Lawson and photographer Tyler Ross.
