  • Love this podcast!

    Just started as an Xbox sprout and have been looking for more in depth lore explanations other than the 40 min documentaries on YouTube. This show is INCREDIBLE. If you want to learn more about the lore from two people who care about on-boarding new players, this is the best one out there!
