The Crusade 122 finale is delayed a bit (imagine trying to get 5 podcasters together at one time!), so Andy and Van use the stones to reconnect to the Destiny--just in time to get stranded on an abandoned planet!

Andy and Van take a Warlock Class Destroyer to the studio to record tonight's show--and they're not stopping for anything! Except maybe pizza. And nachos. And like some sweet tea. But nothing else!!

We have no advertisers and are...
Crusade 112: Visitors From Down the Street 18.08.2025 1:05:10
Andy and Van know the Truth is Out There--much like the plot of this episode of Crusade! So fire up your cigarettes and put on your fedora and get ready for some differing opinions on possibly the most offbeat episode of the series!

Crusade 105 Patterns of the Soul 28.04.2025 1:24:28
Andy and Van definitely escaped Earth BEFORE the plague hit! And that's the story they're sticking to, as Gideon and the Excalibur show up.

Crusade 104: The Path of Sorrows 14.04.2025 1:18:15
Andy and Van forgive each other for wishing this episode had more of an "A"-plot, but they do enjoy the rest of it. Then Andy locks Van in a plastic ball and leaves him on an alien planet. Or abandons him in a spacesuit just as a Technomage fleet comes by. Something like that. It gets confusing. Thanks to all of our patrons for making shows like this possible! We have no advertisers and are entire...

Crusade 102: The Long Road 17.03.2025 54:49
Andy and Van try to figure out how an all-Technomage episode wasn't the greatest episode of Crusade EVER. Because it really was not. But there are some things to like about it. We discuss! Plus listener comments and more! Any audio issues you hear in this episode were entirely caused by holo-demons and electron incantations. They have been fixed going forward. Thanks to all of our patrons for maki...
Crusade 101: War Zone 03.03.2025 1:28:20
Andy and Van board the Excalibur to search for the cure for the Drakh plague--and to debate whether Galen is one of the coolest characters ever, or THE coolest character ever.
