Welcome back Pauper fam! PauperGenesis, the largest Pauper tournament in US history, has come and gone, and what an incredible experience it was! We recorded this week's episode onsite on Sunday in the middle of Top 8 with very special guest, Rich Bucey from Princes of Pauper! We swap stories from the weekend, learn some Rich lore, and share in the true joy and appreciation that we all feel getting to meet some of y'all and hear how much our shows mean to you. Huge shoutout to Jenn and the whole team of organizers for a wonderful event. Thank you thank you thank you as always for listening!
