Support Opposite Attractions: A T…

This week, on our penultimate episode, we look back not at ten seasons of this podcast, but at what we could do to make attractions based on all of Scottye's other podcasts.

This week, we discuss all the news we missed on our accidental week off (power surges and scheduling conflicts hooray!), have a quick chat about our "favorite" Disney Villains, and then set about giving JimCity and Party Town some seasonal festival style events.
