PSA: This episode was recorded months ago, and I am only uploading it now. Mental health isn't a joke, and it's been a toughy for me recently. But y'all have been asking for content and I live to serve!

This episode is raw, unedited, and deserved to be aired. I'm sorry to those who have been waiting! Hoping to get back at it soon.

Cam is a pillar in the kendama community, and this episode is worth the listen!

This episode felt like a long time coming. Ben Herald, Grain Theory Pro, has consistently been one of my most requested future guests... Well, coffee gang... we did it!

This episode was a lot of fun for me. Ben and I dove into a lot of the nuances of being on the cutting edge of Kendama, being looked up to, and the hype of Fringecase--among many other talking points. It was a blast of a conversation and I can't wait for you to tune in.

Mediochrist is a rising Kendama YouTuber doing things differently. He is showing the everyday growth of his skill and progression. As a historian of sorts, Meiochrist shows the hardship of learning new tricks--not glamorizing only the success but also showing the intricacies of learning. I really enjoyed this episode.
