There! Go! Listen. Notes from the Hive: * Episode was recorded slightly over a week ago. I originally planned this episode to be out much sooner, but 50-60+ hour work weeks had other plans. * Extra Life information can be found over here! Aaron and Vangelus are currently there, and your friendly neighborhood editor is also on board with a future Final Fantasy XIV stream in the cards. The team is growing, and there's some important stuff at the top of this episode! Listen to it, or else! * You asked (repeatedly) and we (eventually) listened! WTF @ TFW is now available on Spotify! And it's not just the new episodes, but the last 300+ episodes are available on the service! Give us a subscribe over there. We're also looking into other services, but at this time there are no plans to bring the podcast to other specific platforms. * As always, You can follow @Vangelus, @TJOmega and @aksmth over on BlueSky!
