  • Be careful!

    Drunkfriend is a gateway drug that leads to a slew of fun podcasts and a great discord community of very nice people, watch out!

    Alex and Trav have great chemistry and often get some fun guests to talk with. If you’re into old games, movies, and ESPECIALLY random athletes and wrestlers from the 90s this is a much-watch. Check out the other Polymedia Network podcasts too!
