Free Play 01: Palworld (with Eli)

This is the first of a side series. Think of this as a bonus episode, "Free Play" episodes will not have a regular release cycle. When we have new ones we will drop them in as we can. Each episode is unrelated and can be about anything, typically gaming related. Anything Non-Arcade related can be under this category. We have some different guests lined up for future episodes. Hope you enjoy it! Brad and his son Eli talk about Palworld. This is Eli's first podcast, let us know how you think he did!
