The SCOUTED Podcast is back. To kick things off we have a Director's Commentary on Jake Entwistle's brand-new Archetype, the Berserker, inspired by Morgan Rogers. Tom & Jake discuss how Archetypes are made, their role in modern football, and go deep on Rogers' career, all while staving off threat from a rogue washing machine and a cat desperate for attention.
