A podcast about everything you ever loved but were afraid to talk about. Hosted by Anne Kirn and Emily Kardamis, featuring a new guest every episode.
A bi-weekly chill video game podcast hosted by Kev Bobbitt and Emily Kardamis, where we play a game each week and talk all the things we love about it.
Tight Pencils is a podcast about the creative process. Host Kevin Budnik sits down with friends, strangers, creators established and aspiring to talk about how they got where they are and where they want to go. We are all artists, storytellers, makers in our own right.
