Quest for the Questcast

Society EN ↓ 31 episodes

In 2026 I lost one of my best friends and I wanted to keep his voice alive. Years and years ago we thought we'd make a podcast, but didn't. So I dug up the recordings so we could always hear him talk if we needed to. I haven't edited every episode as I'm mostly uploading the raw audio, so please excuse any shenanigans that may not be as funny or thoughtful now as we may have thought as a bunch of boys. I miss you Matt.
