This very special episode of the Rascal Radio Hour podcast brings together two cardboard enthusiasts to make real on something that Remap Radio's Cado Contreras has been threatening for years — going sicko mode on a mic over Android: Netrunner.

Chase was aware of the card game created by Richard Garfield while at Wizards of the Coast, and he could trace its route through Fantasy Flight Games to its current refuge under the care of Null Signal Games, but he was not aware of the lengths that volunteers and the player community had traveled to create a unique and fascinating entity within the tabletop industry.

From its radically permissible rules on proxies and tournament legality to the careful design curation carried out by volunteers, Android: Netrunner is a labor of collaborative love that shows in how Cado discusses her favorite card game. Now, y'all can stop asking for it — Rascal has delivered the goods.
