1: Murderous Tiger Ladies and Charming Introductions

Hello to both our listeners, thank you so much for listening to our first Podcast!

We are Piers Carmichael and Max Klein, we've wanted to start a podcast since Freshman year of high school - and I have no idea why we waited so long. Max is a Freshman at San Diego State - GO Aztecs! Piers is a uhhhh well he was a traveler on a gap year before uni at Durham UK, but a little pandemic you might have heard of put an early end to all that; just as well, was definitely having too much fun. So now we've started SBP and its gonna be awesome so get ready.

We're only just starting and hopefully, they at least resemble listenable content but please do share this as much as you feel inclined and don't forget to leave a 5-star review ;)
