You know, Hello and welcome into the Ringerverse, your nexus feed for all things fandom.

I am Ben Lindberg, ButtonMash host, senior editor at the Ringer, Master of Ceremonies here

at Ringiverse Recommends, joined as always by my trusty Dox and Grumpkin by my side.

This is the April 2025 edition of Ringervverse Recommends.

If you have a long memory, you may recall that April

2024 was our first of these things. So we've made it a full year now. This is our one-year

anniversary. Happy birthday to us. I guess this is the 13th edition, but still, calendar year

accomplished. Thank you to all of you for making this little side project,

this passion project possible. And we will keep it going as long as you keep listening and

watching. And by now, you know how this works. We talk about things that we missed on the feed

on the past month and that you, by extension, may have missed because we didn't talk about them in depth.

They could be books, comics, movies, video games, TV shows, audio projects, anything goes,

as long as it's nerd culture adjacent, and we liked it, and we think that you would.

And we talk a little bit about what it was and why we enjoyed it and why we

think you would enjoy it, where you can find it. We get in, we get out. That's all there is to it.

So we try to assemble the entire Ringiverse and House of Our Crew when we can. We're missing

Mallory Rubin this month, but everyone else is here, plus some friends of the Ringerverse swelling our ranks.

You can, of course, always contact us at Ringervers Recommends at gmail.com to send in your listener nomination.

We have one of those every month.
