Howdy, out there in Podcastville! Here's the latest sizzlin' episode of Back to the Double R, hot off the griddle and made to order for Season 2, Episode 12: The Black Widow. This week, Jonathan shows us what makes this show work and offers a salute to Maj. Garland Briggs; Jennifer watches Ben Horne go spinning back in time; Damon dissects the Major’s mysterious return; and Colin follows up on some post-Peaks supernatural TV. For the Twist, we cast a lusty eye at all the sexual innuendo and flirtation in this episode!
