Back in January, Verboten was featured on the feed for the popular show Escape This Podcast, and that exposure was amazing, so we want to be able to pay it forward and spotlight an excellent podcast that we think you'll love!Draught Daze is the newest show on the PTE Network, conceived and hosted by my dear friend Jeff "Jeffy Donuts" Bimm. It takes all the fun and faux-competitiveness of a fantasy sports draft and turns it on its head, drafting in categories like nu-metal bands, breakfast cereals, and sitcoms. Teams are scored through the use of randomly-selected predetermined metrics, so coaches aren't sure JUST how their teams will perform until they hit the combine. Enjoy this special two-part episode, featuring Verboten host Jay Borsom, Pub Trivia Experience host Jeremy Goodson, Frenemy Trivia host Tim Dippel, and Geek Trivia host Bryan Nash, first released in March 2023, and follow the feed for more!Draught Daze on Podbean
