408: Knights of the Round Table: Hither ...

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode

🏰When a knight says he'll be right back, he means it

Unless he dies. Or gets captured. Or just forgets about it, prompting his son to come looking for him in the land of wickedness...and also maybe saving Camelot in the process? It's the story of Sir Morien.

😈 The Creature: The Kaichigo

All those games you haven't played are lonely...and also maybe messing with your stuff in the basement.
