TDF EP 237 – Josh Jordon/Andy Ashcraft​

Kristen McGuire (@kriscomics on twitter ) makes manga, watches manga, does voice work and this is a weird audio filled challenge. But Manga, My Little Pony and all things tiny and adorable are discussed. So I think it’s worth going for, if only to hear me trying to keep it together with ONE mic. Blow it off if you must and I’ll have her back on. But she’s great… enjoy.
