Caster Calls With ZombieGrub

While she may be most well-known on the esports front as the Apex Legends Esports host, Kate Yeager is a person of many talents. Having worn all types of hats in the world of esports, journalism, business, and "traditional" entertainment, our discussion covers a truly huge range of topics. Where esports is currently, where is it headed, how it differs from the entertainment industry, where the esports industry strenghts and weaknesses lie, the annoyances of freelance work - pretty much anything and everything is covered in this episode!

The historic career of djWheat can't be fit into one podcast episode, but we tried to cover the highlights. Get a rare view into the world of esports before video was involved, long before SC2 and Justin.tv (eventually Twitch.tv) ushered in the world of esports as we know it. Also discussed is what makes a good talk show, how variety makes you a better commentator, and one of the biggest mistakes of djWheat's career.
