I know the jingle bells are jingling but wait, hold on, I have a spontaneous older idea that I'm bringing back to life with some newer inspirations that I wanted to get out before the end of the year and my Christmas episodes. Enjoy and thanks for listening.

I'm back towards the end of the year with a new season and a new story idea to go alone with it. This time I'm bringing a new character and idea featuring, cults, shaman, charlatans, and a hero's journey. Also, I further overcome my creativity fear of working on something that has already been done.

Thanks again for listening.
