Hey guys, there's no ad here at the top of the episode, but I did want to take a second to explain

this new episode format and also explain a couple of changes that we've made to the podcast,

just in case you happen to miss the announcements on the last couple of shows. So basically,

we have decided to shake up the benefits that we offer those who support our show through

Apple subscriptions or on Patreon. It used to be in the past that we offer those who support our show through Apple subscriptions or on Patreon.

It used to be in the past that Josh Michael and I would record short five to 10 minutes solo

episodes that we would call quick takes, mostly for the purpose of pointing out games that we

recommend people check out. And we would release two of those every week

for subscribers, but ultimately we know that our show works best when we have all three of us

there at the same time. So what we have decided to do is that moving forward, instead of

releasing quick take episodes for subscribers, we are going to be releasing two bonus episodes every month

that have all three of us there, and those episodes will be at least 30 minutes each.

And so we talked a little bit about, you know, what do we do with all of these old quick take

episodes? And we have decided that we are going to release one a week on Saturdays. That way,

everybody has a chance to listen to these quick take episodes, which used to be behind a paygate.

So at this point, we have about 100 quick take episodes that we've recorded. So we've got about,

you know, about two years worth of content. And so we're

going to keep releasing these one a week on Saturdays until we run out of quick takes or we

decide to do something entirely different. So if this is the first quick takes that you have heard,

they are a little bit different because they are completely solo shows. It's a little bit less formal,

a little bit less structured, but we do hope that you guys enjoy having the extra content.

So happy gaming to you out there. And here, let's hear from Josh. He's going to talk a little
