Show notes

My guest this week is James Croft (@CroftSpeaks), host of the Ethics and Chill podcast and the leader of the Ethical Society of St. Lewis. We try to say profound things about coping with the void through pop culture content, but mostly it's a lot of jokes about Animal Crossing and some advice on how to get that cult money.
