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

Hey Adventurers,

I'm in the hospital this week... (all is well)

I know the recording says Tuesday, but that just got pushed back. I'll have the episode out as soon as I'm able!
