On the Way to the Bar – The Mixed Six Outtakes, Sound Tests, and Fun Bits

Join the Mixed Six Discord Server, now open to the public!

Over the course of this podcast’s run, I recorded a lot of sound tests, outtakes, and fun bits. On the Way to the Bar is a compilation of these bits. Enjoy and thank you for listening and supporting us over these last six years.

This was originally going to be a Christmas gift for the Mixed Six community, but this serves as a fitting epilogue for the Mixed Six podcast. I loved making the podcast and I know whenever I reminisce about it, I’ll listen to this compilation.

In the coming days, I’ll create an Archive.org mirror of all the episodes, both public and Patreon-exclusive podcasts, so if you missed any episodes, you can find them. I’ll leave the website and feed up as well.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Please join us on the Discord to catch up and share your favorite moments from the show.
