Episode 011: The Rudderless Episode
On this episode of the PGM Podcast, I'm not there! I have critical tech issues on my end, so the gang got to run around without me to guide them from the stormy depths of extemporaneous speaking and unto the glorious shores of victory! Honestly, they did a fine job without me. Now I wonder if they even need me at all. I swear, if I even get a whiff of mutiny, I will turn this boat around!
