Shaun Allison is a name that was on my original list of guests back when I first started thinking about doing this podcast, and I’m sure many people out there won’t have even heard of?

Dean Florian's recent video part had some awesome feedback but don't be fooled, a lot of the clips Dean really had to put in some serious work to get them done. We love putting out these raw cut videos because they really show how much dedication it takes to put together a video part.
