United States2 months ago - Makes you feel like you’re hanging out with friends.
I started at Ep 1 (I highly recommend it if you want the true short box lore) and have loved every moment of it, it’s truly like hanging out with a group of friends talking about some of the coolest things around. They’re informative and funny and constantly improving. If you like comics, conventions, or anything of the nerd culture this is the podcast to sit back and hang out with.
