Azumanga Daioh is a fantastic show that is all but forgotten by everyone but anime fans who were watching when the fan subs came out. It's so forgotten that despite Funimation picking up stuff like Noir and re releasing it, Azumanga Daioh remains left in the cold as best I can tell. Thankfully, someone has uploaded the whole thing to Youtube, so it's easy to watch and would make for a fine episode I think. If nothing else, everyone here should watch it.
I know that there isn't much of a Geeknights spin to be put on sports, but how about today's news that Boston's being put forward as the US 2022 2024 Olympic host nominee? Given how the city struggles to cope with accommodation during PAX, I'm really not sure how they'd host the games.

A Boston Olympics would be a disaster, and I am confident it won't happen.
Yeah, I'm fairly sure it'll end up in the Middle East just like the World Cup. OK, wider question (and again, I realise it's way outside regular Geeknight scope): If NYC doesn't seem to want the expense and hassle, is any other US city viable? As a Brit who enjoyed the London games, I think it's a ridiculously expensive vanity project, but it does get governments to spend money on urban regeneration and infrastructure.

Los Angeles and Chicago are posssibilities who have expressed interest before. I'm not sure if the fact that LA has already hosted the Olympics twice before works for or against it, however.
There are probably large cities in the South that would be viable due to lots of space available - maybe Dallas or Houston? Atlanta hosted in 1996. Northeastern cities for the most part don't have the spare space or transportation capacity to make Olympics workable.
LA could host the games with a year's notice if another host city pulls out. I think that was the standby plan for a few decades. I guess London could do it again easily too, if nobody else was up for it.
Given the movie will premier on February 13, I think a 50 shades of gray book club episode would be good. Yall could incorporate discussion of the history of erotic literature in the episode.
I hope this isn't too much work, but I was wondering if there could be a feature for the Podcasts that allows the listener to skip into a particular section.
