We started this podcast 1 year ago, so we’re doing something special this month to celebrate.
As we all know, 22 years ago the world survived a brutal attack from malevolent aliens seeking to destroy humanity and strip our world of its precious natural resources. In this very special episode of Jaws of Defeat, we examine the War of 1996 - in which all of humanity stood together as one to fight off these invaders.
(It’s Independence Day. We’re talking about Independence Day in this one)
