--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appLast week, Randall Radbot jumped into the Dracoverse, an alternate universe he’d accidentally imagined where dragons rule the world. Can he help Mamma Jamma, Poppa Moo, Abacus, and Dracomax, or will he get stuck inside his own imagination?!
Lessons include: We’ve got to own our mistakes and work at being better; it doesn’t take a beard to be magical; there are safe and healthy ways to express our anger.
You’ll want to listen to 227. What if robots didn’t exist? (Dracoverse Part 1) to hear the whole story.
