Frankly, we're stunned we're even alive after the monumental effort it took to launch the brand new Joystiq for your enjoyment. But not only did we get it off the ground, we've also managed to make a podcast afterward. Inspiring is an awful big word to use, but if the shoe fits, we suppose.

Also, huge thanks to the amazing Mike MIke for the new podcast branding (you'll see it when you download the show) and to Alan Black for this inaugural, disturbing photoshop.
