THE BAD ARTICLES IS FINALLY OUT! This is the show I've been working on for the past few months with a bunch of your Dunbracken favourites, and all 4 episodes of the 1st season (or first Article, as we call them) are out now. This is the 1st episode. If you enjoy this, check out The Bad Articles for the rest. Either search the name, or go to the linktree here. I'm so proud of this show and we're already hard at work on our next Article.

It was so much fun to make and you can be sure there's more to come. There's also more Dunbracken to come.
