Southpaws Podcast

Savrin and Ajax survived their 8-day adventure to Anthrocon and back, so Fuzz joins as they chat about their overall very lovely convention experience.  <3  

What do you call a group of 3 nerdy white guys hanging out? A podcast. Fuzz, Ajax, and Savrin sat down around a mic on Savrin's new laptop to just shoot the shit. Lots of Star Trek banter, Savrin getting derailed by Ajax, and other such silliness. This is a free one, obviously. Telegram fan chat: https://t.me/+KsOQnsQqWfA0Zjkx

Fuzz and Savrin have themselves a nice hangout and chat. We talk about our holidays, our ideas for going forward in the uncertainty of 2025, a convention asking perhaps too many questions, and show recommendations for AppleTV+ given that it's a free weekend.

Zine, Rukis' new "Instinct" art book volume, Savrin goes on at length about Rupert Sheldrake's 2020 book "Entangled Life", shares a bit about their own journey with psychedelics, and we wrap on the importance of having anchors in our lives.

This episode was plagued by all sorts of technical issues. Appropriate, since it was indeed recorded back on the 13th. Titles is out, AI is 'going to' show up more in D&D, the ludicrous nonsense that dribbled out of trumps mouth at the debate, and books.

This week Savrin and Fuzz are joined by Ajax at the start to look at some Bloomburrow cards, then Savrin shares their adventures at an anime con in a bad spot, good health news and coming back from the brink of death (the person whose name Savrin couldn't remember was Ryan Davis of Giant Bomb), the political vibe shift, and the passing of a fandom original. Also this episode was recorded on Friday, 8/2, so well ahead of Dragoneer's death, but may he rest in peace.

Texas is being dumb, cons are rapidly approaching, and other such nonsense. Sorry for the late release, Savrin had Family Stuff to attend to.
