Very well made podcasts! Mr. Mage always adds insightful discussion

Kai Bobbi ,

Well spoken

Very fluid dialogue and sound quality. Going to be sharing the Final Fantasy VI episode with my pal who is a big Final Fantasy fan. I have half watched him play all of them and I was lost then and I’m lost now. :P No worries on the spoilers on this one because my garbage memory has my back. I need to get back into gaming and this seems like a great place to start. Y’all are doing a great job! Thanks for sharing!
