Each month, we’ll be releasing 2 episodes for Charm Bomb. One titled “Iggle bits” – which is club updates, and Ask JimBob, and the second one, which is our main episode of Charm Bomb, where we all chat about the monthly theme and do other fun segments and games.

Stewie, Toasty, Rosa, Hadas, and Summer are here to tell you all about what’s coming up for the IGGPPC this month!
