We're officially at midseason, and I thought it would be a good idea to do a recap of some of our favorite episode, but brought together under a common theme. We're calling this a mashup of sorts. This first is one of my favs: Twitch. Not just because I'm biased, but because the whole 'streamer' and 'live video' platform warring going on right now is reaching peak crazy. In this episode we'll feature a creator, a founder, and the go-between who manages to work for both of them. Not just any creator, but the #1 most followed streamer on Twitch, Pokimane. Not just any founder, but Kevin Lin, the cofounder of Twitch. And, of course not just any go-betweener, but the VIPs', VIP, the go-to partner manager and starmaker, Anele of Twitch. We hope you enjoy listening to this mashup of different players, with different viewpoints, all pushing this phenomenon of live streaming.
