GCP S2:E11 – Writer’s Block: Excuse…or Opportunity?

Grendhill Chronicles Podcast, Season 2, Episode 11. Livestreamed on YouTube Sep 14, 2023. We had some technical issues that may result in awkward hilarity. One that we didn’t figure out until after the stream was over: YouTube was showing us a mirrored image, so I thought it was flipping it. So I flipped the image in software on my end to make sure it wasn’t mirrored…thus accidentally causing it to be mirrored.
