Why is MG starting a Podcast?

From the very beginning I (Alan) have always wanted to start a podcast. In order to spread our message on the interweb to make sure that everyone from all over can listen. However as you all know MG is a growing community and we decided to hold off and prioritise other ventures but we are proud to say that we have grown so much that alongside the phenomenal events we have been putting on and will continue putting on such as our panels / gaming tournaments and showcases, we will be adding an MG podcast to the ever growing list of content we provide. Welcome all to the MG podcast, hosted by me – Dark Knight aka Alan and the MG team. Our first podcast will be live tomorrow on a latitude of streaming platforms including Spotify / apple music and Soundcloud.
