Show Notes: http://pony411.libsyn.com/shownotes Episode 220 is here! And it brings with it... very little news. Yeah, not a lot happened this week.

Show Notes: http://pony411.libsyn.com/shownotes Welcome to episode 218! It's rather short this week. Part of that is because we don't have a lot of news to share.

In which Rainbow Dash takes a bunch of old Apples to Las Pegasus. It's more fun than it sounds. For everyone involved. So tune in!
