My guest this week is Jamie Wakefield. Jamie was one of the first tournament report writers who really elevated the craft. Jamie turned bland game results into epic stories of triumph and defeat. His work was a cut above almost everyone else, and the players appreciated it.
During our chat, we talked about writing, the passing of his first wife, optimism, and purpose. I enjoyed our talk and I hope you do too.

This week I talk to Peter Adkison. Peter was Wizards of the Coast's first CEO and created the infrastructure for Magic to exist and thrive. Peter has since moved on to other projects, including running Gen Con and his personal IP World of Chaldea (adult content); but he was still happy to talk about Magic's early years. This was a fun interview.
