What?! Explain‪.‬ Braden Thorvaldson

We have an episode with Will Cowan, the busiest man in showbiz (that I know personally). He takes some time from his band and podcast network to join Braden for a chat!

Then, Will combines his two podcasts and tells Braden the story of the semi-forgotten video game based on the David Lynch Dune movie that helpe...

It's yet ANOTHER episode where Braden invites a guest to do half his work!

Hi Everyone! This episode is going to be considerably more freeform than anything else that I've released.
