SHOW UPDATE: I'm changing the format!
Dead Drop Game News
03/17/22 • 4 min
ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm changing the format of the show! We are moving to twice a week now, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I've crunched how often you all listen, and I think three times a week is a bit much. So I'm changing the frequency to make it easier for you, the listener!
I'd also love to hear your feedback so far, and suggestions for what you'd like to see from the show. Video game streaming, a Video Game Book Club, Q&A with me... it's all on the table! Get in touch with me directly on Twitter (@MattBlissPod) or on the podcast email address (DeadDro[email protected]) to tell me what you think of the podcast so far.
And thank you for listening. I appreciate your time and your support for The Dead Drop podcast!
Matthew Bliss, your Professor of Time Preservation
