CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains conversations around Racism, Black Lives Matter, and Representation

This episode is different, the times that this episode goes live are different. At this recording there are mass protests throughout the United States in response to systemic racial issues that was catalyzed by the George Floyd death a week before we recorded this. Given the state of the world, Josh and I felt it would be inappropriate to not have a conversation about how we can support voices as a hobby and to encourage that the hobby move to be more inclusive. We love games, but we also believe that the hobby can be more than it currently is. When that happens we all win as at the end of the day games are nothing without people!

In this episode we simply have a conversation. We came at this episode from our educational backgrounds to shed light on how we can make a positive impact on the world. The tagline that we end every episode with.

In this episode there is no intro we just jump into the conversation.
