Have you ever thought about how cons outside of the US are run? Well, look no further, as we bring Ray Ting on the show! Ray Ting is a silver fox from the US who is currently a staff member for FC as well as a volunteer for Infurnity. He has the unique position of seeing how an Asian and a Western con are run, so we decided to bring him on the show to give us some insights to how Infurnity and FC are run behind the scenes. We’re excited to have yet another fox on the show, so let’s give him a big awoo!
