Tak goes rogue. And by rogue, we mean live.

For Only Tak 2, Tak takes over the show completely, leaving Producer Tom with absolutely no way to edit him, cut around him or quietly remove anything he probably shouldn’t have said.

No guest. No safety net. No edit.

What could possibly go wrong?

Note: This was recorded LIVE on YouTube two weeks ago, normal pod releases have now resumed.
