In which, Andrew and Tracy step out of their comfort zones and into Dude’s, discussing the 1st Amendment and free speech–both what it means to us, and what it means in the context of comic books and broader geek culture.

Show Notes:
CBLDF – Comic Book Legal Defense Fund
FIRE – Freedom for Individual Rights & Education
