Summary

All of our lives have been upended because of some pretty awesome news (read item one here, and item two here), and it has had the unfortunate effect of knocking our recording schedule totally out of whack. So for this month's Idle Thumbs we have something a little different!

At PAX East 2018, Chris moderated a panel called "Building Bridges & Breaking Barriers" and we're privileged to share it with you! Here's the official description: This panel brings a diverse group of individuals together who are actively working – often times behind-the-scenes - in the game space to help bridge cultural gaps and create positive communities. Panelists will share personal stories on how they overcame cross-cultural challenges, not just in their own “backyard” but also across the world!

We're not sure when a 100% regular schedule will resume but we'll keep you posted! In the mean time enjoy this episode and thanks for listening!

Discussed: Pepe Silvia w/drums

0:58.0	I'm Jake Rodkin. Hey Chris. Hey Jake. We don't have another episode of the podcast for you this month unfortunately much to our shame.
1:05.9	Yeah as you may have heard Campo Santo which is the studio for which Jake and I both work or work I should say has become part of Valve and so the two of us have moved up to Seattle or at least are in the process of doing that.

1:49.0	Never believe in yourself.
1:51.0	You'll only disappoint yourselves and your and your readers.
