DDG: A Pokemon TCG Podcast

Dan and Danny really bring the heat this week for Episode 76! We start the show with Pokemon news, then deliver a review of Charlotte, and after that, a quick look towards Portland. Then, things get a bit spicier, as the DDG dudes tackle this week's main topic: is "witch-hunting" good or bad? When are mistakes no longer *just* mistakes? Are some top players cheating or misplaying under pressure... often? Dan and Danny don't pull any punches, folks! Finally, a fantastic Top 5, Question of the Week segment, and Buy/Sell/Trade make this one of the most entertaining episodes to date. Don't miss out! P.S. Shout out to Team DDG for being the best sponsored team in the Pokemon TCG. You guys rock!!

What decks do we think will crush it this weekend? You'll have to listen to find out! We also have a very inspiring DannyBox, where we try to find the core of our motivation. Following that segment, the Question of the Week is truly heart-touching as we go over the responses from the last episode. Finally, during the open discussion, Danny talks about the Madison Stream and your opportunity to be a part of it, and Darrin gives the DDG Family a chance to give back to their community.
