Schedule & Update

We hope you enjoyed the Red Kraken, here's what's next:

- Brandon the Builder won the "next episode" poll and luckily it is also the episode closest to completion, in fact it's likely to be recorded before this time next week. It's pretty darn big. I might have to split it up...

- After that, we'll move on to the next scripted episode until we're caught up. Then we will resume the $12+ episode topic/voting feature.

- The follow up/sequel ...

Which of these would you like to see next?
