Yggdrasil Podcast | Episode 1| Guest-Nova Bushido | Controversies, More Perspectives Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to the Yggdrasil Podcast, where we discuss all the most interesting topics from the top AND the bottom of the world tree. It is both my and Nova's first time doing a podcast and with Rise coming out so soon it was important to get it out as quickly as possible. Future episodes will have more fluff and the overall quality will improve. Also I am positive that I don't say um that much in real life, it must be first podcast jitters.
