UPDATES: (there's probably gonna be a new megathread soon, lulz)

I've made a sub for SIO (serious Inquiries Only) you can find it here. I'll have more on that soon, but please feel free to join and you'll see updates as they come out (mod applications now live!)

r/openingarguments will likely be revived as the new home for OA episodes on Reddit. Nothing about r/openargs will change in the very near future, but to prepare for that eventuality, I've posted a mod application form. If you're going to continue to listen to OA and want to mod over there, fill out the form.

Thomas has dropped an update - You can listen here. There is a call to action for supporting him, links to stuff we have here, and more. Please go listen!

Two new OA episodes with Andrew and Liz Dye: OA689 and OA688.
