Hey there folks - This episode is a special one, as we end the first 'era' of the podcast. Today, we say goodbye to PJ. We answered a TON of listener questions, and got extra silly, since we were in person together for this one. This episode was recorded immediately following The First Law wrap-up podcast, and was especially saucy.

We'll all miss the damn lad, won't we?

I'll note, while we did our best on editing/production, this is a bit more janky than I'd like. We've got a professionally polished version coming in the next two weeks, so this will likely be updated. Regardless, it still captures the soul of what we wanted, and the fun we had on the show.
