Welcome back to the Detour! This week we can’t stop talking about how much fun we had at our live show at WonderCon 2025, playing new characters and interacting with fans! The callouts, the submitted skate-trick names, the will-they-won’t-they between all of our Junior Skate Champs… truly an experience we will never forget. Once we settle down from that, we get into the conclusion of the abandoned factory quest, where that leads our characters for the next arc, and what the hell the players think it all means so far. Finally and as usual, we’ll answer a few deep questions from you, our fabulous listeners.
