Welcome to Episode 61: Welcome to the Jungle!
We're back at it after a week off for... DRAGONCON!
DragonCon was a smaller and different experience than years past because of COVID, but it was still great to see everyone! Oh, and I apparently was the ONLY one in the podcasting circles to actually GET COVID while there, even though fully vaxxed and masked! Ugh! But the show must go on!

In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the 2017 true story of survival, Jungle, starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi Ghinsberg, a man lost and alone in the Bolivian jungle for 17 days! Fascinating story. I love movies based on true events!
