Episode 79: 1051200 Goblin Lore Podcast

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast, pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup
of your favorite drink as we stroll down memory lane. In today's episode Alex
and Hobbes are taking things back to the very beginning, 2 years ago, when they
were both approached by Joe [https://twitter.com/RedFortySeven] about a new cast
idea. This episode pulls back the curtain to talk about the growth and changes
that the cast have had over the past two years. From the beginning to looking
forward, this episode is an ode to those that have allowed us to get to where we
are today.
 
We want to give a special thanks to our "unofficial" co-host Chase
