AJ Fillari on Podcasting, Media Crit, and The Last of Us Online

This week I'm switching things up a little bit, starting with some news about Hollow Knight Silksong and Gamescom before launching into a chat with AJ Fillari!

We chat about podcasting, their show DotZip, our podcast network, and building up the critical muscle. It's a good one!
