Seth and Season 1 co-host Monty kind of gave their Storytelling Philosophy back in Season 1 - you can find that episode if you want a refresher - so we thought we'd give you our take, sort of, here and now. We realized after we were done that Celina promised other sources of information on the Gith War, but didn't call any out!
