Physical Media

Despite living in an increasingly digital world, many cool people (like us) are going back to physical media sources -- you know, stuff you can really feel. This week we're talking about CDs, records, DVDs, Blu Rays and MiniDiscs because we're old bores who like the way things used to be.For full-length weekly bonus episodes check out the TCGTE Patreon!Like the show?
