Nan Desu Kan 2017 Podcasts

Hi everyone! NDK 2017 is over, and I'm back in the studio, cutting up podcast audio for release in our podcast. The first selection, a press conference with Dante Basco (Rufio (Hook) and Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender), will be available on Wednesday morning. I hope you all are looking forward to it.
