I kept thinking that they’re going to replace it. I just didn’t believe it. I thought, not until I’m watching it on TV am I going to believe it.

Rich Dickerson

As mentioned in the episode, Rich was so kind as to send me a few really cool behind the scenes photos! I’ve watermarked them with both his name and the podcast, as he certainly didn’t have to share them and I don’t want them circling around the internet with no credit! Take a look below.
