This is our first Patron-exclusive Returning Champions compilation episode! Here we look back at series we have previously covered on the show, now in a nice little contained episode so they don't overtake the "regular" episodes.

We have unlocked this as we don't have a "regular" episode ready this week- Elliot's internet is currently not working so blame BT! Regular service will resume next week.

If you would like more of these Returning Champions episodes, we will be having more of these published on our Patreon!
