Cooking & Cube, Breaking Bread & Cracking Packs

Our Streets of New Capenna survey is open! Please take a few minutes to let us know what you’re testing in your cube from the new set.

Andy and Anthony take a step back and talk about Cube and Cooking, the many things two of their favorite hobbies have in common, and what they love about them. Both are creative endeavors that are interesting things to master in their own right as well as tools to bring people together and serve as an entry point for broader personal growth.

Our listener submitted pack 1, pick 1 this week comes from Tortured Existence’s The Box.
