LRA Extra - The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachinu)

Even though we skipped this week for our usual LRA Show gathering, we still recorded another episode for the GOTDead podcast where we discuss the latest episodes for The Walking Dead.

So here you go, if you wanted more Wind Rises talk, this is it. Featured music this episode is from "The Wind Rises" motion picture soundtrack.
