Shady hotels - Drone Scares - Providing aid to the Ukrainian front |||

In this episode, Jordan drives to Rhode Island to hang out with Eddy, a friend of A Better Way 2A, and the reason behind all of that rad Bakhmut swag we fundraised with a while back. We initially met Eddy (as an internet person) while he was en route to Ukraine to volunteer, and have always wanted to share his story with you all. We discuss how and why Eddy got involved, what it was like for him in Ukraine, and what his plans are now that he's back. Andrew's internet decided to yeet itself into oblivion for this episode so it's mostly just Jordan and Eddy, however we had to remove some laggy audio at the end when Andrew tried to join again. If it sounds a bit choppy at the end, that's why. Enjoy the episode!
