What really happened at The Escapist, the legendary gaming website and YouTube channel that gave birth to Zero Punctuation, Extra Credits, Jimquisition, and more? How did it go from being a gaming empire to a shadow of its former self? And how did some of its former members rise from the ashes and create Second Wind, a new and successful gaming content and culture outlet?

In this exclusive interview, Peter sits down with JM8, the host of Design Delve on Second Wind and a former member of The Escapist, to reveal the inside story of The Escapist's downfall and Second Wind's rise.

This is a rare and candid conversation with one of the most knowledgeable and passionate game designers and gaming content creators in the industry. You don't want to miss this!
