Music is such a huge part of JRPGs, and we wanted to dedicate an episode to celebrating it. But we didn't want to do it alone - so we invited our friend Alex, aka  @qualitea_individual , to join us! With her music background, she presents a unique angle on the topic that WE all found super interesting and fun, and we expect you'll feel the same. Check out the episode, and be sure to follow Alex on all the socials, Twitch, and YouTube!

Today we tackle the age-old topic of silent protagonists. You see them pretty often in JRPGs (some would even argue TOO often). What are the pros? What are the cons? What do we think the future of the genre looks like in regards to silent protags? Give our thoughts a listen, and be sure to let us know yours!

Thanks to YouTube user DarkAkuma86 for the comment that inspired this episode - we break down our thoughts on JRPG collecting and how to maintain a healthy mindset throughout. We also take a look at some fun new pickups and laugh at Branden's inability to handle adult drinks at his very advanced age.
