MCP SE16 – Triple Threat Launchcast

Posted by Raven on 17 Jan 2010 | Tagged as: Feedback, Just For Fun

Hey all!

It occurred to me that I never actually put this launchcast on the feed. Since the next episode has been delayed due to production difficulties, this seemed to be the ideal time to put it up as an extra bit of content. Listen as Philippa Ballantine, J. Daniel Sawyer and I take calls from listeners and kick off the next stage of our podcasting projects. Enjoy!
