Show notes

Just in time for Christmas, Ben puts on his producer hat and hands the keys to the proverbial kingdom over to this week’s hosts Jenna and Phoenix who are excited to talk about the word religion. No video game conversations this week, but there will be plenty of time for that when they each appear with Ben in January.
