Freaky Friday News, Pokémon Updates & Building a Podcast Nation
Tune in to the twelfth episode of the Trade and Raid Podcast, your one-stop-shop for the intriguing, the unusual, and the cutting-edge in gaming, culture, and more! We'll be going live on July 21st, 2023 at 9:00 p.m. EST, packed with Freaky Friday news, the latest Pokémon updates, and a new interactive project with our community.
Our Friday tradition, the Freaky Friday segment, is back with a fresh selection of outlandish news from around the world. Brace yourselves for a culinary shock as we discuss stir-fried river rocks—a Chinese street food that's really hard to stomach. We also cover the shocking story of a 13-year-old who drained the family savings on a mobile game, a homemade car powered by a World War II plane engine, and a phantom country that managed to infiltrate two United Nations meetings this year. It's a wild ride, so buckle up!
Next, we dive into the world of Pokémon with four key updates. We discuss the upcoming conclusion to Pokémon Ultimate Journeys, marking the end of Ash Ketchum's 25-year tenure. We offer a sneak peek at Pokémon Horizons, the show set to replace the long-running series. Get ready for the introduction of routes in Pokémon Go and hear about the trainer who claims to have caught the most powerful, shiny Pokémon in the game—a shiny Bidoof!
In our final segment, we invite our community to join us in a unique project. We're building a nation in NationStates, the browser-based nation-building simulator. We're excited to create the Trade and Raid nation together with our listeners, providing a fun, engaging way for our community to interact and collaborate on decisions for our 'classroom nation.'
Catch us live on YouTube every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 p.m. EST. Make sure to subscribe to our channel to stay up-to-date with our bite-sized segments if you can't make the live shows.
