Late to the party but it's a fine format! Thank you Zulie, love me that swordspear as well!

Dug the format. Text interview was good, still nice to hear the banter with guests, but like that people who don’t want to record can still contribute.

This format was great! Really felt like a bonanza with all the guest content and community questions. Thanks guys. Jellyfish shield kept me company right up to Farum Azula on my first playthrough iirc. Jellyfish shield, my big jellyfish boi summon, Rennala’s hat… looking the part. And stacking up the jellyfish shield buff with Golden Vow and Flame Grant Me Strength was a pre-fight tradition.

Not to speak for K, but I recommend the QAnon Anonymous Podcast as a source for this sort of thing.

Hey Kole, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for podcasts/media about extremist groups and stuff like that?
Eldon Hill
The episode format was great. I'd love to hear more prewritten responses like the Zullie segment! I'd prefer hearing guests live whenever it's possible, but obviously that's not always practical for you or for them. If it allows you guys a wider variety of guests and perspectives, then write-in responses can clearly work very well :)

He listens to the show, so he knows how we feel. I would have felt mortified treating a guest any other way. - K

Loved both segments - thought Manny was great and I love anything at all related to Zullie and her work. Would love to hear from other creators and community figures even if appearing in person on the show isn’t workable or possible.

Hats off to you both for remaining stoically silent every time Manny brings up the Yhorm fight. Y’all are forever and always the most gracious hosts

I love the Zullie segment.

Really loved the interviews, both Manny and Zullie, as well as both formats (Manny in person and Zullie written responses). I'd vote to keep that going with these episodes when they come up! Also, thanks Gary for the Jellyfish Greatshield recommend! I had been using a lighter shield with good physical+magic protection, but it was a little bit insubstantial at times. The mushroom cap lookin Jellyfish shield not only looks cool as hell, but also has that dope weapon art buff (20% attack boost!) and repels attacks more effectively allowing for more Guard Counters, as you pointed out. Love the animation on that weapon art/buff as well -- is it Metal??...oh yes, yes it is!! This little tweak has definitely helped my build, especially since I have quite a long weapon so I can really close a lot of distance with that extra blocking and Guard Countering strength. Cheers!

I loved the Zullie the witch segment and I think adding some Twitter dm interviews is a great idea!
Jeff Moscaritolo
Praise the swamp gas!
Ben Bruker
Just wanna say that I like the format and the interviews and the episode!
Asko Häivälä
I would love these mini Twitter interviews for some of the old guests you've had over the years.
Alex Atchley
That receptionist position is great, it's too bad they make you read all those anti-union scrolls before you start work.
Michael Hajek
I loved both interviews. I think the text interview is a great way to get more people involved like the older seasons of the show had.

A note from a couple episodes ago, I just found out you can use the mimic item to dodge the frenzy tower and it almost instantly deaggros enemies if you just turn a corner! Kinda fun! Stoked to listen to this now!
