This episode was recorded at the end of May after an eventful month! The audio quality is not the best but hopefully, you’ll still enjoy it. Ardo and Yash attended Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF) and then Yash flew to Vancouver for Vancouver Comic Arts Festival (VanCAF). They discuss the comics they picked up, the panels Ardo moderated at TCAF and then end the episode with the non-comics/festival books they’ve read so far (not many!).
