RJC episode 15

RJC episodes are too big to put on Locals, but you can find it on YouTube!

Welcome to new members!

Welcome! You'll see new videos appear here before they appear on YouTube! I'm also working on new things at the moment, so it may be a little quiet here. My recommendation, since I'll be doing more off Locals, is to become a Wokescreen member!
