WTF @ TFW – 653 – August 22 2025

Nearly five hours of podcast lay ahead of you, so don’t waste time reading the description. Aaron returns from GenCon, TJ encounters some BotCon toy and Vangelus does some horrid Google searches! There! Go! Listen.

Notes from the Hive:

• Episode was recorded slightly over a week ago. I originally planned this episode to be out much sooner, but 50-60+ hour work weeks had other plans.
• Extra Life information can be found over here! Aaron and Vangelus are currently there, and your friendly neighborhood editor is also on board with a future Final Fantasy XIV stream in the cards. The team is growing, and there’s some important stuff at the top of this episode! Listen to it, or else!
• You asked (repeatedly) and we (eventually) listened! WTF @ TFW is now available on Spotify! And it’s not just the new episodes, but the last 300+ episodes are available on the service! Give us a subscribe over there. We’re also looking into other services, but at this time there are no plans to bring the podcast to other specific platforms.
• As always, You can follow @Vangelus, @TJOmega and @aksmth over on BlueSky! Even the editor, is over there!
