Spoilers ahead! If you haven't already, hop back and listen to our two part RPG special, The Bourne Kerfuffle. Or don't, we're not your handler.
As well as the debrief, we're talking TTRPG mechanics, and some red hot media reccos.
Also...it's the last episode I'm producing before going on parental hiatus! Still going to crop up in some episodes as a guest, but I'll be taking a few months off production as my wee bambino comes in to the world. Best of luck to Jamie and Jon as they man the fort!

The conversation took a few turns, starting from a recommendation for French radio and taking SEVERAL left turns to end up with the line, "I bet Jeff Goldblum's got more cum in him."
In context, it makes perfect sense I swear.
Also, hit us up if you fancy going head to head on Escape Simulator some time.
