Chazingdra Chats (A Pokémon Podcast)

#BringTheNoise! My guest this week is Shai Burton, providing larger-than-life energy and all the laughs! Come and hear why Shai is a pioneer in every sense of the word, from card sets to mindset and even Feraligatr movesets... Learn from Shai's wisdom - delivered in his trademark infectiously upbeat style - discover his hand-picked 6 Pokémon for his Dream Team, find out the heaviest Pokémon he can bench press (yep) - we had such a blast chatting, you're sure to love listening! Let us brighten your day!
