Episode 81 – Thac0: The Movie

Posted on April 30, 2013 by admin | Leave a comment

In the time that we here at To-Ag Studios have been recording, we’ve taken our fair share of shots to the chin, as individuals and as a group. This week, not only did we take that shot again, it was followed by a shin-kick to the groin and a wet-willy to boot. Join us this week as we take an errant trip down the rabbit hole resulting in a questionable experience with Thac0: The Movie. Take inventory of your dice, be sure to steam-clean your gaming cloak, and whatever you do… don’t hassle Neil Gaiman as you prepare for a brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

Episode 42 – Favorite Books

Posted on July 31, 2012 by admin | 11 Comments

Let’s face it. If it wasn’t for books, we could hardly classify ourselves as geeks. From the stacks of tomes in our tabletop roleplaying libraries to the shelves lined with everything from history to science fiction, if a geek is anything, they are well read. Join us this week as we discuss our favorite books and authors, as well as the works that have been most influential on our creative minds. Be sure to grab your custom bookmark, set aside those reading glasses, and put that awesome book back on the shelf (just for a bit!) as you settle into that comfy reading chair and listen to a whole new episode of Monkey in the Cage!
