While Eneasz is away, Steven and Wes sit down to talk about Marcus Verus, one of the three protagonists of Eneasz’s book What Lies Dreaming. Steven finally got off his ass and picked up a whole book without a podcast to motivate him. Then, not only  could he not put it down, he couldn’t resist the urge to talk about it. Read this book and buy it here.
