Episode 12: The Extraplasm Bub Meets GB World Hub with Paul Martin

Paul Martin, author and curator of Ghostbusters World Hub on the web and @gbworldhub on social media joins us this week to talk a bit about his experiences running the most comprehensive knowledgebase on the web for the now-defunct Ghostbusters World augmented reality app game.  In its hey-day, the game aimed to replicate the success of Pokemon Go! by drawing upon the IP of Ghostbusters in all of its animated narrative forms.  Paul was its biggest advocate in the fan community who spent time cultivating an entire website of strategy guides, how-tos/walkthroughs, and a robust database of each ghost that appeared in the game with supporting video clips!  At the height of the app's popularity Paul's site was the pre-eminent source of info that even its support team recommended to players. Now, in the wake of its servers going dark, Paul is expanding his content to cover all kinds of Ghostbusters games, including Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed!  We find out a bit about Paul's story after taking a few minutes to talk about gratitude and catching up on the week's headlines. Don't miss it!
