If The Shoebill Fits
In this, the premiere Final Fantasy XIV: Dawn Trail lore podcast, Sean and Chadd (with reptilian editor Jeremy) ask the big questions of small game facts, going way, way beyond the wiki and game lore with their combined academic and industry background. We're not afraid to make our stupid Calls public, and admit when we're wrong, so that when we get it right, you know we meant it. Have an idea for an episode?
