We’re back!

For a special test episode of the new setup of the show going forward (including our beta pre-production theme music), we are planning a complete re-launch and a return to weekly broadcasting.

To facilitate this, we have also completely redesigned the site and added a community forum @ www.defendersofthemirth.com/forum. Sign up today and become a fellow Mirthling Peer :-).

We’ve also set up a subreddit @ dotm.reddit.com for fellow Mirthling Peers to add their own links to articles they’d like us to cover on future shows.

So, we hope you’d like to join in the fun and sign up.
