First, I want to thank you guys for the content youāve created. I discovered your podcasts this summer, and have very much enjoyed the āwitty banterā regarding three of my favorite stories/franchises!
Second, is there a place I can find your āFruits Basket Anotherā special? Perhaps ironically, I started the Furuba podcast last, and while Iāve seen advertising for the episode, it doesnāt seem to appear on Spotify or on your website. Was it canceled or uploaded elsewhere? Or is it an unfortunate error on my end?
Many thanks again!
It has been several years, but it is now live! It is here!
Itās time to say goodbye for now, but we discuss our final thoughts across the all the Legend of Zelda games we played, and answer a few listener questions along the way! ā¦with only a few tangents in-betweenā¦
Thanks for listening! š See you around!

We've played so many now, and while editing, I thought the ranking discussion was kind of hard to follow. Our ranking up to our April 1st/Spirit Tracks episode is out.
In this game, a burgeoning train engineer must partner up with the ghost of a princess, traveling the land and restoring the spirit tracks that had kept the demon king Malladeus under control, until he was released by a suspicious double-hatted chancellor and an apprentice lokomo who desired more power.
Thank you for listening and make sure you join us May 1st for Skyward Sword! š
We've play so many games now that I thought the ranking discussion was kind of hard to follow, so I made this page of our lists:
