Over deze podcast
A relaxed monthly chat between two *slightly older* British friends - talking life, gaming (and basically whatever other nonsense comes to mind).
We're currently playing on Xbox, PlayStation 5 plus a bit of PC and Nintendo Switch action.
Our regular episodes drop every first Friday of the month.
