  • THE SEASON 2 FINALE IS FULLY AVAILABLE... PLEASE LISTEN AND ENJOY :)


    We are updating the "release dates" of episodes that were released from 2025-2026. So it'll LOOK like we've not released anything in a LONG TIME, but in fact, they are just hidden so they'll appear between Seasons 2 & 3.

    That way, new listeners can just listen to what they see appear, in order, without having to hunt for the episodes in question.

    Thanks for your understanding!

    -Travis & K.A. Statz
