Episode 032: A deep dive into the NephMadness region Animal House:

AJKDBlog: Animal House Scouting Report.

Note: I initially finished the editing and post production clean up while on vacation in Mexico. Due to bandwidth issues I was unable to complete the final post-production editing that I normally do on podcasts and had to upload a low fidelity, band-width saving version. The current version is now up to Freely Filtered standards.
