Bonus Episode: "Trebuchet" by George Hrab

As a bonus episode, we present to you Trebuchet,  the new album by George Hrab.

We Are Not Delicious would not exist were it not due to a few excellent podcasts, one of which is George Hrab's Geologic Podcast.  We (mainly Montana; McDeviltoast is a new fan) could go on for days, but rather than do that, we'll just link in a few resources below, ask you to listen to the album, and encourage you to pick it up.

Thanks  for listening, and of course, many thanks  to Geo for all the entertainment, past and future.

A couple things to check out:

• Geo's albums on cdbaby, including Trebuchet
• Listen to a recent interview with Geo on the excellent Point of Inquiry podcast.
• Sessions with Slau, the podcast of Slau, who recorded, mixed, sang on, played keys on, arranged parts of, and probably did a million other things for Trebuchet.
