  • Pre-Episode 2

    Hey, welcome to the second pre-episode of the Tabletop Call In Show with Adam Bell and Jeremy Gage.


    Today we set out to do a technical dry run of the call in system and twitch stream to make sure everything goes off without a hitch on Sunday. It turned out to be a ton of fun so I figured we'd post it on the podcast feed.


    My (Adam's) audio is a little lower than ideal but that's why we do a test, but please enjoy this sample of what the show will be. Thanks to our test callers Viditya, Max, and Matt!


    Tune in Sundays at 4PM at twitch.tv/adamebell

    44m - Mar 10, 2021
  • Pre-Episode
