Don't Mind | Riku Cave | Ep. 2

We are actively undergoing what we believe to be a targeted digital attack against Fool & Scholar Productions and us personally. Our social media accounts have been (or are at risk of being) disabled by the hackers, our primary computers are gone, and we have lost our ability to promote Riku Cave. We are still in full lockdown, fighting to get control each day. Please help us get the word out by sharing your thoughts online and using #DontMindPod if you enjoy this episode <3 Thank you all for your words of encouragement. -F&S

Rindo has unexpected visitors, and meets the excavation team at Riku Cave.
