The Misdirected Mark Podcast

Hello folks and welcome if you're new from BS-Radio. That's right, we're now syndicated. Those doppleganers sure did some work which makes me wonder if I should get rid of them or hire them as consultants. In any case we have a new segment this week called "You Know What Really Chaps My Ass", I get to talking about Story with Alex Swingle in the Workshop, Mark gives us a report on Gaming with Baby, and I confront my old foe Vera in the Geekery...god I hate her. Hope you enjoy.

Hello Friends. This week we're at the Geekery for Pateron episode #3, Star Wars and Shakespeare night. Tangent Twin Dave, Tim, Jesse, and I read select passages from the book Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope. I hope you enjoy and let us know what you thought of this one.

Hello Friends. This week we have a new segment called From the Stew and I also sit down and chat with David Pulver about his new adventure Laboratory of the Forsaken from Crafty Games and his career as a writer and game designer.
