We are back for another episodes, this time with a full Fireteam. Good thing this worked out, too, as we are both talking about Season of the Drifter alongside our favorite moments over these past two years. Yes, we have been at this for two years and on this anniversary, we have set a new milestone with EPISODE #50, not counting special shows and little bonuses we have released in these two years.

Want to hear the show in the raw? Here’s the LIVE feed!

Interviews, videos, fan fiction, we have covered a lot of ground, almost as much ground as the Fireteam has covered in The Reckoning, something we plan to talk about in this fiftieth episode. Come on and join us for the fun, and share your favorite show memory with us at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com. We’d love to hear from you!
