| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister Podcast on the Blister Podcast Network. I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, |
| 0:08.6 | and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com. |
| 0:16.6 | Today, we've got another edition of 10 Quick Things, where I break some news and provide |
| 0:23.0 | some updates on some things happening around these parts here at Blister. |

| 1:42.6 | Jason from Rockport, Maine, just renewed his membership, |
| 1:46.5 | as did Ronald from Basalt, Colorado, as did Liam from Greenlawn, New York. And then finally for |
