  • Vampire the Masquerade Part 3: Interview with a Banker

    This week our chaotic coterie infiltrates a bank, does some questionable hacking, and goes for a drink in just the worst kind of bar. Enjoy!


    TW: This week's episode features mention of something that could, in different circumstance, be considered revenge porn. That is not how it is portrayed in the episode and not how the situation was taken by anyone in the cast, but we want to be clear on these things for any listeners for whom this may be a trigger.
