Patreon-Exclusive Fireside Chat (April, 2018): How One Man Found His Way to IGN
Added 2018-04-27 16:00:59 +0000 UTCLate last year, I went to San Francisco to record some episodes of CLS: Fireside Chats. You've heard all but two of them. This month's exclusive podcast is one of the two yet-unheard shows. It stars Mark Medina, an IGN editor who, when I Tweeted that I was looking for guests for the show, suggested himself. I loved that, so I accepted. We met literally five minutes before the show began, so I spent our time together getting to know him and his journey through life (he and his wife were full time foster parents before he went to IGN!), and how working in the gaming industry has changed everything. This talk is casual and laid back, and I think you're gonna love it (and probably become a Mark Medina fan when it's all over, just like I did).

2018-04-29 19:33:53 +0000 UTCDude fuck this guy, I've never heard of him, and - I'm totally kidding. This episode was fantastic! You guys hit it off right away, there was no feeling out process at all. This is the dream for every podcast where you have a guest on you've never actually met. Mark, if you can see this too, as a CLS supporter I really hope to see you back. Great job, guys!
