Episode 101: A bowl of beer

Leave a reply

Look let’s be real. This is the podcast where we finally gush about Overwatch. Of course we do it when Matt’s away, but that’s okay. He’ll get to chime in next week. Tons of great news and a new sort of feature, where we bring in a beer and talk about it. Yup, this is now a hipster podcast where we drink craft beer and share our opinions. Ethan’s man bun is pleased by this.

Beer of the week: New Belgium Heavy Melon
