We shifted even further into geekdom with the following two episodes on the topic of childhood toys. \u00a0We enjoyed talking about these topics so much that we just continued down that line of topics.<\/span><\/p>\n Really we don’t have any future visions of the show. \u00a0It seems every time we make a vision it gets swept aside. \u00a0Originally the show was to have no more than two hosts and maybe a guest. \u00a0As it turns out, a large number of hosts makes for good conversation. \u00a0The original topics were suppose to be history driven, however that changed rather quickly as well. \u00a0Having guests on the show never really\u00a0occurred\u00a0to us, but Anna Silk has been kind enough to accept an invitation. \u00a0The success of show has grown far beyond what we had originally anticipated. \u00a0At this point, I think it may be best to let the show evolve however it may.<\/p>\n What do you think of Epic? \u00a0Tell us in the comments. \u00a0Make sure to “LIKE” them on facebook<\/a>, check out their website<\/a>, and enter the contest to win Lost Girl signed DVDs by Anna Silk.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Epic, is CHSR’s show of the month this month. \u00a0Each month I ask the show’s host\/producer five questions to get to know the show better.
