Podcasters Against Humanity: Smoky Writers Edition

I spent last weekend at the Smoky Writers retreat in Tennessee.  I saw great friends, ate amazing food, and wrote all the things in the lap of rural luxury.  For some (slightly) more serious reflections on the retreat, check out the latest episode of The Shared Desk.
But that's not important right now.  What is important is that we played an EPIC game of Cards Against Humanity, and of course we recorded it for posterity.
