This week it's my fault we didn't record. It's spring time in the south, and I had a sinus infection. I took some time off and got some meds, so fingers crossed to wellness and recordings next week. We have many topics we'd like to discuss!

This week Rage had a weird work schedule so we were unable to record this week. I pulled franken content from the newest and oldest episode on the backlog, so we have some things from last week, and things from January. Hope you enjoy, and we'll see you next week!

Good day to you all dear listeners! Jared's internet was down (for once it was scheduled maintenance we found out about). There wasn't enough time to record, but we did do a choosening. We have games picked out for the next several months of gameclub. There is at least 1 big surprise on the list that we can't wait to see how you guys will respond too. 
 
Enjoy a Story Time, and we'll be back next week for the April Gameclub.
