Chazingdra Chats (A Pokémon Podcast)

It's the *90th* episode of Chazingdra Chats! An honour to be joined by PaPaSea, whose phenomenally popular 'Beating Pokémon how Nintendo Intended' series defined his channel - but just how did he get to where he is today? Come and discover PaPaSea's fascinating life story and the 6 Pokémon most special to him over the years that he would choose for his Dream Team - let PaPaSea and I make your day merry!
It's time for Chazingdra Chats to evolve! Going forwards, I'll be doing seasons of the show rather than releasing every single week. This will mean I'll have more time to make other kinds of content and curate rosters of guests for each season. Thank you so much for your wonderful support of Chazingdra Chats and I'll see you soon for Season 2!
👉 Please do leave a RATING & REVIEW if you're enjoying our chat, they go such a long way and it would mean a huge amount. Thank you!@Chazingdra across all socials
