PodCoping

The Coping Cast is here! After months of teasing and trying to get it off the ground, we’re kicking things off with an interview with the one and only Tim de Man. Tim was a joy to talk to and it was great to get his thoughts on content creation, video game music, and Nintendo’s copyright policies.
