It's the "season finale" of the Blue Barred Cage, so we chose to take a look back at some of our favorite moments from the first year of the show. However, things didn't go exactly as expected, and it has led to a major shake-up for the podcast. We have chosen to post this episode with the ending intact, so our fans understand what happened (we warn you, there is some very NSFW language). We hope that you will join us soon as we embark on season two.    Tags: heel turn
