Raw audio, a car ride home, and a podcast full of thoughts to recap the weekend that was Fun-K Town Con. Jared and Ian give their thoughts on the weekend as well as some of the games that they played. We do apologize for any less than professional audio this episode. Recording in a car can be difficult and we had a quick turnaround. Hope you enjoy and hope that we can see you there next year! Special thanks to Mike Randolph for such a great event! Hope you all enjoy the episode!
