January 03, 2024 MissingNo 10: Go Go Redux Rangers! (Episode 7 Original Recording)
Summary:
So remember when Sid and Ashley first covered Go Go Power Rangers and they had to re-record the episode? Well, the original file magically wasn’t that corrupted! So check out this “lost” version of their first brush with Go Go Power Rangers! Note: This episode was originally recorded June 2019 before Sid was going by their current name. However, it is fun to revisit the early origins of the podcast and this one is a special treat!
