Episode 83: Tri-State Adoption Scheme

Update: 2022-02-15

Description

After (another) short absence, we have returned! This week, Caitlin tells us about an illegal adoption scheme, featuring international human trafficking.

We then continue to grill Caitlin on her Harry Potter knowledge and she dorks out about her time in DND. Andrew isn't a fan of Boba Fett, but falls madly in love with Pokemon all over again.
