208. The War on a Very Digi Christmas

We're packing up our bags and flying around the world on a new deus-ex-machina digivolution to bring you this podcast talking about the World Tour!

We discuss language barriers, Gennai's immigration reform, American diversity, and World Tour trivia. Asher bemoans the World Tour's focus on Teen Lovin', Jeff rants about item-triggered digivolutions, Ashley talks about how the dub prepared her for anime, and Jeff breaks down the Adventure 02 timeline.
