Important: Show Update
1/11/2022
Quick update on the change of name for the OCD&D Podcast
Hi, Phil here, your DM. I just wanted to give you an update on a big change to the show that will be taking place over the coming weeks.
It's become apparent that back in 2109, what started out as an innocent play on our 'Overseas Connection' podcast heritage, the title OCD&D turned out to be a bad choice.
None of us on the show have OCD (to any large extent) and furthermore we don't represent the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder...
