LATEST EPISODE SUMMARY
This is it, folks. The end of an era for us here at QGN. As we close up a show that has personally meant so much to us, we dive into what producing a long form, long standing, podcast has meant in our lives and how our lives have changed as a result. More of a personal piece for the hosts than an Elder Scrolls episode and serves as an unscripted, real time, reflection of the good times and bad here at QGN and ESOTR. Enjoy. And Thank you for allowing us the honor of entertaining you.
