Join Andy, Becky, Bash and introducing... Ben! Stepping in for Chip while he takes a mental health break, Ben joins the 1UP Pod gang to talk all things Stardew Valley! The gang share their style of farm building - be it chaotic or heavily organised - as well as Bash's disdain for all crops. They talk about their favourite characters and storylines, their romanceable preferences, with Andy ruining a perfect segue from Becky between all that. Favourite tasks and favourite seasons are shared, and the gang try to explain why this game is so addictive to some people. All that, plus the usual 1UP Pod nonsense.
