Blocked Party

This was a show about being blocked on the internet from Stefan Heck and John Cullen. However, the internet is dead, and so are we. This main feed will remain active so you can listen all of our past episodes, and we will occasionally post something from the bonus feed for free for you to enjoy. We are still doing bonus episodes over on at patreon.com/blockedparty. We'll see ya there!
