Lin Codega is an entertainment journalist who co-founded Rascal--a worker-owned, alternative tabletop roleplaying game news outlet. They previously wrote for io9, Polygon, and MIT's Immerse magazine. They also make games, and a lot of other weirdly wonderful things we talk about in this episode!
The first time I met Linda as at Gen Con, and my friend Richard said I should meet them, talked about het work a bit and them I went to talk to Lin. She made a bunch of interesting questions and I answered them, but my autistic brain got the best of me and I didn't ask anything back!
Well, on this episode I try to rectify that talk to Lin about a lot of interesting topics, ranging from punk culture, the important of community, how our unfinished projects are not failures, but lessons we learned along the way, and a lot more!
This is a short episode, and I do pride myself of longer and deeper episodes, but Linda managed to pack a lot in this short interview and I am sure you will love it as much as I did.
