The Escapistcast

This is the introductory episode for The Escapistcast - "Intros & Inspirations." In this episode, I discuss the basic concepts of gaming advocacy, and set the stage for the future topics covered in the podcast. Listen & enjoy!
Episode 0 - "Intros & Inspirations"

I was recently contacted by Ed Healy about creating content for a syndicated internet radio program called War Pig Radio. Since I rarely pass up the opportunity to promote the site and the cause, I agreed, and Escapistcast Extra was born.
Escapistcast Extra is a "minicast" - single serving portion of roleplaying advocacy audio - a short discussion on a particular advocacy topic, served up by yours truly. I've made it available to anyone who wishes to add it to their podcast or internet streaming station - all I ask is that you leave the episode intact and complete, and notify me that you're rebroadcasting it -
I've got a short blurb and an album art image to go with the minicast that you are free to use as well:
Escapistcast Extra is a "minicast" - a single-serving portion of the full-size gaming advocacy podcast, The Escapistcast. Each installment, your host Bill Walton discusses a different topic on the positive promotion of the roleplaying hobby. Find out more about gaming advocacy and how you can become involved at www.theescapist.com
The episodes will run between 10-20 minutes, and I will include them in the regular Escapistcast feed so that you'll be able to catch them along with the full episodes.

I'm pressed for time and won't be able to put together a full episode before Origins, so this is just an update to let everyone know what's going on.
