As a device-addicted person, please know this podcast is not from some high and mighty mountain, but somewhere right beside you in addicted-land. I got up this morning and put my tablet AND switch inside my lockbox. Too much to do, and I was ready to fart away the day on Fallout Shelter!

I’m taking a break from streaming (don’t worry, just vacation) until August 4, when I will announce new and exciting changes to my content!
