Gnomes.
They’re everywhere. EVERYWHERE. They’ve been around for centuries, they’re taking over our yards, infiltrating our holidays, lining the shelves of our retail establishments… what are we gonna do, you guys? Probably go extinct, because we’ve basically invited the GNOMES into every aspect of our lives, and when they turn on us it’s all over. Join us for a strange and semi in-depth discussion… on GNOMES.
Thank you so much to our good friend Mike G. of @artofthemorningstar for the amazing episode cover which he put together for us without being asked. Make sure you’re following Mike, because his art is amazing.
