Update: I've fixed some issues with the audio mixing for this episode that should make it easier to listen to now.
This time around, it’s my absolute joy to welcome Michael R. Underwood (@MikeRUnderwood) to the show! Mike reads from his trunked novel, The Broken Summit before (and after) we have a conversation about the intersection of writing and tabletop roleplaying, the life of a content creator, and some excellent advice about shaping your career goals.
This episode’s reading is 17 minutes long and carries content warnings for themes of war and imperialism.
