This episode was recorded on January 24th, 2020!

Mike, Paul, Kait, and Brian sat down IN REAL LIFE to record, discussing the last year of IRCB, things we’ve loved, how we’ve grown as a show, and a few behind the scenes bits.

Mike’s audio is a little weird because, well, he didn’t follow his own advice of eating his microphone.

Thanks to Danny and Nick for hanging out on discord while we recorded this episode!
