Today’s podcast episode is special, because it is not my own! This is an episode of the BedtimeGamers podcast, hosted by Shawn and Emily (who posted Animal Crossing tips in our last post). However, I am included as a guest and wanted to share all of our thoughts on this game that’s been keeping us sane during these troubling times. Enjoy!

In this special episode, Emily and Shawn sit down with some friends, Jacob and Caitlin, to talk all things Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They discuss their prior experience to the series, how their expectations stacked up against actual gameplay, the controversial time travel debate, and what's on their wish list for the game in future updates.
