Episode 001 - Hungry Hippos

Episode 001 - Hungry Hippos

Relly and Pauly talk about board games with big manuals, the podcasts that they’ve been listening to and where to start with the Zelda series. They’re big fans of Tabletop and Penny Arcade and want to sneak into a game store and record people playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Theme music: Helix Nebula by Anamanaguchi, from the album Power Supply.
