Episode 9: D&D Tag

Back at the beginning of 2021 Ginny Di and Mark Hulmes did a set videos where they answered some questions about their experiences with Dungeons and Dragons. At the time I recorded video responses on my phone and posted them on Twitter. I have cleaned up the audio as best I could, and I now present it to you here as my first bonus episode while I work on the more official episodes.
