Episode 285: The 8th Anniversary!
2026/07/14
Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and the celebration of 8 years of doing this show (first episode was posted 6/18/2018). The goblins gather to celebrate 8 years for the podcast and this time the gathering is literal. All three hosts were present at CommandFest Tacoma recently and decided in true Goblin Fashion to record in a hotel room with a poor recording device. That's our way of saying that the audio might be a little... well... off. We hope you enjoy and please come join our discord (link can be found in our linktree)
