The Con Artists Podcast: Rolling Review 25

This story is about young kids at a mecha high school who duel each for company rights and the ability to tell each other secrets. It's also about forming your own company because all the cools kids do that these days. It's also about class struggles, and learning mech skills. It's also about a young woman who can pilot a human killing mech but due to her fancy-ass powers can withstand the darn thing for mysterious reasons. It's also about revenge. It's even about not getting to eat the last lunchbox and crying about it in the bathroom. No seriously...it's about all of these things.

The Con Artists Podcast: Rolling Review 23 

In a world where surveillance is threatening the 24th District, three heroes will rise up to take on trolley dilemmas and save their friend/sister/girlfriend who died in a fire years prior. There'll be some girl who desperately wanted a complicated romance plot, a dude in a cowboy hat who now licks spray paint cans, and a scene where one of our heroes ziplines into a drug addict's window and smashes him in the face with a skateboard. The only thing more powerful than having large pecks for bread-making, is going full vigilante with a sacred donut handoff. 

Everything about this show is excellent and after listening to us you definitely won't wonder if Cloverworks is being worked into an early grave.
