Hey friends! I hope everyone is doing well! We don't have a new episode of We've Got Ward for you today because, well, that book is over. But we thought we'd instead do a feed drop of Decomposing Worm, the newest show on the Doof! Network. It's all about analyzing Wildbow's novel from some new and interesting perspectives. We love it! Take a listen and then head on over to their feed and subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decomposing-worm/id1513109043 You can also support the Doof!
