Apparently, some gamers are […]
Episode 212 – Black Lives Matter
This week’s episode features our friend Gregory Parks, who joins us to talk about the Black Lives Matter movement and his personal experiences as a person of color in America.

Episode 209 – Brexit and Trump
This week we talk with our friend C. Robert Cargill. Cargill is a novelist (Dreams and Shadows) and screenwriter (Sinister, Dr. Strange) but we talked to him about politics.
