Hey Charles! Thanks for the shout-out, re: 7th Son: Descent!
ReplyDeleteRegarding your question about podcasting and truckers: Speaking from personal experience, I've received lots of feedback from truckers over the years. How big is that market? Hard to say. But they are an evangelistic bunch, and are great peeps to have in your corner.
Thanks again!
