Per Aspera Season 2 Episode 2: "All Dressed Up and Spore-Where To Go" Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

Content Warning: Rot, Fungi, Trypophobia

Trapped by polite society, the crew must navigate the delicate waters of a gala they weren't necessarily invited to. Just as all hope for pleasantries and pastries seems lost, they're saved by an encounter they do know how to handle! Will these party crashers stop these...other? party crashers? You'll have to listen to find out!

Show notes

The cast gets together for one last hurrah (until we record season 2 but anyway) to recap season 1 and answer fan questions! Also to bully Austin, but that's just justice for all the mindflayers this season...
