Green Team of the Legendarium
Green_Team
The Legendarium Podcast is a community for lovers of science fiction and fantasy books, from classic to contemporary. Red Team and Blue Team are under the main Legendarium Podcast. They're the pros. Green Team's podcast is a bit different. We are the newbies, upstarts, the kids in the back of the class who riff off of different one-off topics, about books, life, games, pancakes vs waffles, and all the important arguments.
