Dear listener,

Welcome back to The Cradle.

Our protagonists meet at a fuel stop... sorry, Gas Station... and come to the realization that travelling onwards as a group is far safer than travelling alone. As they navigate this eldritch plant strewn world, what horrors might they encounter?

I guess you're about to find out.

BIG thank you to:
Karim Kronfli for Roland
Tanja Milojevic for OTI
