The Fode and Beed show returns for the 2025 Vassal World Cup! We say goodbye to one host, and welcome 2 new voices to the show. Will data and facts prevail, or will they be buried under big parcel of nonsense? Join us to find out!

raely42, ArmchairJedi and returning guest Stewbucket shoot-the-shit with absolutely no plan for a solid second-to-last episode! We talked about the finals fleets, and things we'd do differently next year in both the organization of the event and the podcast!

ArmchairJedi plays both Fode and Beed tonight as raely42 takes a ski trip to Hoth. mmusterer navs in to talk about speed 2 ships and how they've faired in this year's turbulent meta and in the VWC itself.
