While Rachel Crawford was in town we spontaneously decided to record some improvised roleplay dialogues as well as some post-roleplay commentary.

In this episode you’ll hear Tim play the pro-choice side against Josh, as well as our discussions afterward about what Josh did well and what could have been better.
