Cricket's Campfire

Summary: I was there. Where you sit. I was bored, scrolling through lists of podcasts that don't tell me anything about them. Ugh, not even a good trailer! Next. Stop by this cast and you'll find yourself with a cup of hot cocoa in one hand and s'mores in the other, next to a warm fire. When you're done, feel free to rest easy knowing you learned something new, or at least got some entertainment for the day!
