SGJ Podcast #272 – 2018 Year in Review/2019 Looking Ahead

The Best of 2018!

The Best of 2018!

Hey friends, welcome to this week’s podcast! This week, Jim, Spaz and I close out 2018 by looking back at this busy year and talk about what surprised us, what depressed us and a lot more. We talked about a LOT of games, so it’s a pretty long episode, but we covered a lot, and had a lot of fun, so I hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did making it.
