- Welcome to Episode 61: Welcome to the Jungle!
- We're back at it after a week off for... DRAGONCON!
- DragonCon was a smaller and different experience than years past because of COVID, but it was still great to see everyone! Oh, and I apparently was the ONLY one in the podcasting circles to actually GET COVID while there, even though fully vaxxed and masked! Ugh! But the show must go on!
- This week's Geek Question of the Week is: If you were lost and alone in the jungle, what fictional item would you want to have with you to help you survive and escape?
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the 2017 true story of survival, Jungle, starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi Ghinsberg, a man lost and alone in the Bolivian jungle for 17 days! Fascinating story. I love movies based on true events!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.
