With us for this wrap-up is friend of the show (and basically the fifth host) Brett Biebel who chats with us about what makes Against the Day such an incredible work of fiction and what we love so much about it (so far).If you like what we're doing and want to support the show, please consider making a donation on Ko-Fi.
