This week on the Virtual Bully Podcast we discuss the merits of starting a recording session at 3AM.
Virtual Homework is a podcast where the hosts (Dana and Sam) alternate each week to force the other to play a game of their choosing. We then talk about the game and use that conversation to talk about other aspects of life. Hilarity Ensues!
