Hello there! We are Jana and Bal, two Critical Role fans from way back when - and that’s where we want to take you all back to!Since we somehow end up yelling at each other about Critical Role Campaign 1 all the time anyway, we decided to turn it into an actual podcast for your listening pleasure. Or something.Every other week (if Life allows it), we will publish a new episode covering an episode of Critical Role Campaign 1: Vox Machina. At length. A length under the one of the actual episode, but we make no promises.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
