No episode yet, but you can Ask a Mask

admin — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:13:37 +0000

We know we promised an episode by September 1, but unfortunately some kind of cosmic interference (it must be tachyons!) has delayed our plans. However Episode 2 is on the horizon and in the mean time, we have a new segment we would like to pimp…

Hello current and future faithful listeners! Because the women of Watchwomen are dedicated to improving your Watchmen experience, we know that while you’re interested in our thoughts, you might also be interested in the thoughts of our beloved masked adventurers. We are too, and we’ve set up an exclusive contract allowing you to Ask a Mask.

Making its debut in Episode 2, the Ask a Mask segment provides answers to burning listener questions by the masked adventurers themselves. If you too are in search of answers, advice, or outrageous personal information, send an email to askamask@watchwomenpodcast.com and we’ll direct it to the adventurer of your choice.

Disclaimer: Watchwomen LLC makes no claims on the accuracy of any advice given by masked adventurers.
