*Whew!* It's going to take a lot to cover all the interviews Jon did at Origins 2022, so let's kick it off with... an interview not from Origins...?
Jon talks with Chris O'Neill from 9th Level Games (https://www.9thlevel.com/) about everything at Origins plus their new Kickstarter for Return to Dark Tower the RPG (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/9thlevel/return-to-dark-tower-rpg).

Your Podcast is a WH@%E!

Warning alert, Swarmcasters: This episode contains some colorful words and slightly explicit language. Yes, Ruby is on the episode.
We talk with the folks behind the game Your Mother Is A Wh@%e, and there was simply no way to get around some of the language. But, it's all fun and games (as they say) and with some of those games you guys play out there, who are you to judge us? I see what you have on that shelf behind you, Richard. And Beth, you can pretend the shrink wrap is still on that big, black box of cards, but we know better.
Intro (03:38)
Interview with Innocuous Content about Your Mother is a Wh@%e: the Game (06:33)
Review of Your Mother is a Wh@%e: the Game (39:27)

Wednesday Sep 06, 2017
Wednesday Sep 06, 2017
On this epsiode, we take a serious look at our experiences on coming out as gamers. We give advice, and share some rather shocking stories. You'd think we turned into a serious podcast or something. Also, our standard bag of segments and the return of Jon making a fool of himself. This should be a good one.

Friday Jul 24, 2015
Friday Jul 24, 2015
In this episode, Jon, Clayton, Cristin, and Jason recorded some stuff about Free RPG Day, Game Days, and a Quickstart review of Night's Black Agents. And then Toast had to try and edit the whole thing.... no easy task when Frank Zappa stops by to narrate. Oh, and there's a surprise post credit ending of Ant Man and Wasp beating up Ultron or something. Stick around, it's pretty "cool." See... I put quotes in there...
