The Con Artists Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

After successfully defeating the Demon Lord after a ten-year journey, the nigh-immortal elf Frieren soon separates from her companions, the adventure seemingly a footnote in her long life.  Yet something about her former companions compels her to make a new journey, to discover more about herself and them even after they have passed on.  Listen to the Con Artists talk about this incredible show, its solid worldbuilding and its interesting magic.

S2E9 Gotta Catch ’Em All (Dragon Type Pokémon)

It's the 25th Anniversary of Pokémon, can you believe it?! I've brought in Resident Pokémon Expert, Chris to podcast with me again! In honor of this exciting milestone and it being a Year of the Dragon on the Chinese Zodiac, we've decided to talk about one of the coolest types of Pokémon: Dragon Type! What's up with Dragon-Types being weak to themselves? Why does that one dragon come out of an apple?! How the heck is best boy Charizard NOT a dragon unless he's in X-form? Most importantly, have you gone to Sephora and become glamorous enough to BECOME A DRAGON?!

Also, I forgot to mention it in audio, but thank you to https://www.smogon.com/dex/ for answers to items 2-6 mentioned in the Checkpoint.

The Con Artists Podcast: Rolling Review 23 

In a world where surveillance is threatening the 24th District, three heroes will rise up to take on trolley dilemmas and save their friend/sister/girlfriend who died in a fire years prior. There'll be some girl who desperately wanted a complicated romance plot, a dude in a cowboy hat who now licks spray paint cans, and a scene where one of our heroes ziplines into a drug addict's window and smashes him in the face with a skateboard. The only thing more powerful than having large pecks for bread-making, is going full vigilante with a sacred donut handoff. 

Everything about this show is excellent and after listening to us you definitely won't wonder if Cloverworks is being worked into an early grave.
