0:30.0

Welcome, Paige, Dream Warrior.

0:32.0

This is our sweet cult podcast, podvon guard crossover episode for Frank Lloyd,

0:38.3

right, part three. And I'm really fucking excited about this. I want you all to know

0:45.1

how angry I am at Frank Lloyd, right? And how many things I had to leave out of the story
