The Running Riot – Going Meta
Kete stopped by to announce a couple of things earlier this week; apologies for neglecting to point this out. The Running Riot podcast will be kicking off a couple of new formats this month – Spectator Mode will have TRR doing a live recording of OTHER podcasts… on their show. Think of it as a podcast within a podcast. And Riot Sandbox will open the discussion up to whatever you’d like to talk about – think of it as an open mic night. Check out the post for details! The first Spectator Mode ‘cast will be with the Forward Unto Dawn crew, tomorrow night at 9pm Eastern. Tune in!(Louis Wu 15:59:37 UTC)
