The Gally panel is Friday 1400 PST and the BF one is Saturday at 1000 and it’s listed as ‘Big Finiah 2025 preview’ so I can only imagine they will have at least one exciting announcement

Really hoping we get something good from either tbh! Both times are decent times for me to see what news comes so I’m really excited.

  • Only 20% or Big Finish customers are buying CDs these days
