• April Episode Delayed

  Hey folks, just to let everyone know there's going to be a slight delay for our Alloy of Law episode, it's all on me. Normally I'd be able to turn around an episode in a week's time, but several of my loved ones have needed lots of additional support on top of my day jobs and classwork. It's been a busy month for us all. What this means for y'all as listeners is that you'll get two episodes in May, one is a longer episode towards the beginning of the month and a shorter episode towards the end of the month. After that we'll be back to our normal schedule in June. This will be deleted once Episode 15 goes live.This show is created by Graham Gillman, Taylor Lane, and Jack McLaughlan.
