We&rsquo;re still getting things set up here, but I wanted to let you know what this is all about.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s a weekly discussion sparked by Randall Munroe&rsquo;s <a href="http://xkcd.com/">xkcd web comic</a>. The conversation might wander from philosophy to science to politics and pretty much anything else including why squirrels are such a great symbol for the loveable idiot archetype.</p> <p>So if you&rsquo;re a fan of xkcd, or even if you&rsquo;re not, but you think you might enjoy listening to me mispronounce words like archetype, Mydrane, or <a href="https://xkcd.com/739/">malamanteau</a>; then go ahead and <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/xkcdclub">subscribe to the podcast</a> right now. That way, when the first episode is available, it&rsquo;ll be a surprise treat like that pizza flavored combo you found between the sofa cushions when you were so hungry, but didn&rsquo;t want to get up and get a snack because you were binge watching game of thrones and even though you really had to pee, you decided to hold it through just one more episode.</p> <p>Like I said, we&rsquo;re still setting things up, adjusting the knobs, and tweaking the fiddly bits. (Wow, that sounds a lot dirtier than I thought it would.) Anyway, go ahead and follow us on twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com">@xkcdclub</a> and we&rsquo;ll let you know how things are going.</p> <p>Also, just a quick note of clarification. The xkcd club is not affiliated in any way with xkcd.com or Randall Munroe. We&rsquo;re just fans who like the comic or at least enjoy discussing it. The views and opinions expressed here are our own and it&rsquo;s highly unlikely they are shared by Randall, Megan, beret-guy or any other persons &mdash; actual, fictional or simulated.</p> <p>Thanks for checking us out and I hope you&rsquo;ll keep listening.</p>
