2024-07-18 02:52:15 +0000 UTCGreat episode! Unrelated but is there anything you could do to make the list episodes easier to find? Maybe a section on the website or a YouTube playlist or something? The GOTYS and Annuals are easy to remember but I was trying to remember what other ones you all did and had to do a lot of scrolling through the archives. No big deal if that’s not feasible!
