0:00.0 | I have a new podcast that I'm doing once a month where I sit down with two video game writers each month to talk in, talk to them about video game writing. |
0:07.6 | It was in part because I wanted to as soon as I started video game writing, which, you know, I'm in my second year now and I still feel like I don't know anything. |
0:14.5 | Or I also repeatedly I'm learning how different other studios operate. |
