Luke Pit the interviewee turns into Luke Pitt the guest cohost as we all open up about our mental health struggles and how the hobby has helped us cope, find closure , or to find hope. it gets a little deep on the second half, but in that way that shows we really are just a group of irreverent humans working together to hold it together!
