Show notes
We figured this show was getting too easy to make. Why not do two shows at the same time? Chris Whitpan head of tabletop for PAX/ReedPop, and Ryan Hartman VP of Penny Arcade are here to share invaluable wisdom about conventions and how they work.
Back to back, you say? Nah. Still too easy. Let's splice them in and out of each other. This is either a contender for the next Poddies (made up) or a trainwreck. Maybe it's both. You be the judge.
