We are back for Episode #40! We attempted to record this episode more than once, which descended into total disaster, so we've wiped the slate clean and gave it another shot. In this episode, we look ahead to upcoming show milestones, layout our fall convention schedule, and spend over half the show discussing the ultimate fantasy literary adaptation.
