    945. Tales from the Pit: Inside Dads (Feat. Nekomander42)
    In a Very Special Beanus Episode of the otherwise-dormant Tales from the Pit, Michael links up with longtime Small Beans community member nekomander to pick her brain about her father's recent passing. This is done for totally selfish reasons, but that doesn't mean you won't also benefit from the conversation. Please consider donating to neko's kickstarter if you find it a fruitful listen!
