January is National Blood Donor Month. In this episode we talk about the importance of donating blood and recognize people who make this lifesaving contribution. Then in true fashion, we get off topic somehow and talk about… Vampires?

On a serious note, if you are thinking about donating blood be sure to contact your local Red Cross for more information.
