These Spires Were Made For Slaying

Sorry haters, this is a Slay the Spire 2 podcast now. At least for this week. On today's show, Shane pieces together his first successful run, Dave pines for some better intro content, and Stan reminds us of Ball x Pit. We wrap the show with a chat through some new 2026 albums we've enjoyed.
