120: The Low Budget 100th Showtacular

In a special 100th episode celebration, John Salwin and Mike Cioffi host a retrospective of 'Low Budget FM' in the absence of Marc and Tod. The episode features a curated selection of classic clips—including news stories, guest interviews, and failed hosting experiments—while interacting with a skeptical guest named Seena. The hosts revisit legendary bits such as the 'Tucson Chaunch', the 'Breakup Press Conference', and a debate over a listener's hypothetical fight between a grizzly bear and a velociraptor.
