Five years of podcasting -- can you believe it?! We started this podcast at the height of COVID in 2020, several years after we'd shut down our Geeks Unleashed website.

And we have even MORE changes coming this year! 

 

Thank you for five years of listens, comments, DMs, and a BIG thank you to all the friends we've made along the way! Here's to another 200 episodes!
