Episode 25 : 1 Year Anniversary!
Wow. 1 whole year of the Overleveled Podcast. You're welcome.
Seriously, thank you to everyone who has been listening and supporting us over the last year! We both are so grateful for each and every one of you! Getting to talk about JRPG's and all sorts of other video game news with all of you has been some of the most fun and gratifying things we've privileged to do over the past year. We can't say thank you enough! Sadly, this will be the last podcast episode to come out for a little while. I, Gavin, am having another baby incredibly soon! This is by no means the end of the Overleveled Podcast though! Just taking a break for a bit for fatherhood part 2.
I hope everyone enjoys this one as it is the first time that we got to record the podcast in person! But weather you're watching or listening, we're glad you've decided to take the time out of your day to spend it with us!
