Well, I had quite a surprising guest this week. Nick Calandra has had an insane 48 hours. As you have no doubt heard by now, Nick Calandra was the Editor in Chief at The Escapist and was fired on 11/6 by the parent company of The Escapist, Gamurs. Almost instantly after this firing, nearly the entire team at The Escapist either was fired or resigned shortly after. Upon that, Nick immediately put his “misfortune” into high gear and launched Second Wind, a continuation of the video team at The Escapist, now free from the corporate shackles that Gamur had on them. In that short 48 hours, they have already launched their own Patreon, a YouTube channel, and Twitch, ready to go for content that may be ready as you are reading this. Nick and I talk about how he found himself at The Escapist and what may have led to his firing. We also go into the realities of Second Wind, some of his plans going forward, and how it seems the industry is ignoring this whole situation altogether. This was an incredible conversation, and I thank Nick for donating his time to the show and answering my questions. Make sure to check out the relevant channels below this description. Thank you for joining me this week, and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
