Big Channel Updates, Book News, and… Where’s Zach?!

Today, just the real skinny! In this solo update, Jim shares what’s been going on lately in life, love, books, and the Fantasy for the Ages channel.

Plus, what’s the deal with Zach? Don’t worry… the mysterious son and co-host is very much alive and gearing up for more episodes soon!

Jim also dives into what’s next for the channel, the race to 5,000 subscribers, and the exciting lineup of books waiting on his shelf—spanning horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and beyond.

So grab your beverage of choice, settle in, and enjoy some cozy fandom chat time with Jim.
