HUGE 534 - The Three Minus One Host Problem
Hopped-Up Gaming: East
We're operating on a skeleton crew this week as only Ben and Tim have answered the call to record. They start strong with a dangerously large pour and a stupendously strong IPA, and end perhaps inevitably, on a full blown rant about the 3 Body Problem books. If a host isn't using his podcast as pseudo therapy, is he even podcasting?
