For those who aren&#8217;t, these episodes will hopefully be a delightful surprise, as they feature both Henry Ford himself, as well as myself, Desi Doyen and our old friend Paul Byrne who wrote all of the &#8220;Mighty Adventures of Buzz Edsel&#8221; episodes which you&#8217;ll hear in this <i>Very Special BradCast Holiday Special<\/i>!<\/p>\n<p>As the graphic above notes, the show includes Action! Adventure! And fun for the whole family! (Except Communists!)
