  1. Fantasy Reboot - Christmas Present

    12/25/2020

    Fantasy Reboot - Christmas Present

    Merry Christmas! We've put together a little bonus episode for Christmas Day as a treat, if you can call it that, for anyone who needs a bit of company this year. This episode also brings to a close the first series of Fantasy Reboot Podcast and it has been quite an experience creating our first podcast. Today we're doing something a little bit different. We're casting THIS PODCAST! So, who would play Leo, Roger, Lorra & Simon? As usual there are arguments, laughs and some BIG surprises. We'd like to thank everyone who has listened, rated, subscribed, commented and contributed to the show. We didn't make it to be huge or expect it to be but every message and bit of feedback we've received has made us all feel humble that people have taken the time to listen in a world flooded with noise and distraction. A special thanks to Honey (The Oracle) and, of course, Betsy Pearl, our voice-over girl. We'll hopefully be back in 2021 and hope you can join us then. In the meantime, you can reach us on Twitter @fantasyreboot or email fatasyreboot@gmail.com Have a wonderful Christmas. Lots of love from us... The Fantasy Reboot team. Hosted on Acast.
