BONUS Nick's Audition

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a Castologist? We, even if you haven’t you are about to get a brief window into the audition process we subjected Nick to before he could join our exulted ranks.

Zane threw him a curveball in this one, just to see how he would handle it. Listen at your own risk, as things get weird!

In this episode we talk about ‘Believed’ (which NIck has recommended on our regular episodes) and ‘Pounded In The Butt By My Own Podcast’ (which Zane had been hiding away for just such an opportunity).
