Aces & Jokers: A Wild Cards Podcast
We’re reading and discussing Wild Cards, a set of shared-world superhero novels edited by George R. R. Martin. We don't own Wild Cards and this is not an official podcast. We use brief clips from the audiobooks and other sources to illustrate and aid discussion. Spoilers abound. Support us at https://patreon.com/acesjokerspod
