We\'re back from vacation! This episode we introduce Carrie as our newest permanent member of the CDB Crew and also have on returning guest, Rebecca Hart! Not only this, but we also interview writer Tom Ward about his series available through Kickstarter, Merrick: The Sensational Elephant Man as well as other things like him hosting his own digital convention even before COVID made it necessary.
