Apologies in advance if audio levels are a bit weird in this podcast, I tried to correct them as much as I could. For whatever reason my mic this week decided to be super quiet. One more thing!

Oh, and then from there we get into woodworking and power tools, like a mobile gaming

Instead, it’s more just us picking out the single game out of the week’s releases that we think is
