Dilligent rabbitfollowers might have noticed I started doing a new podcast with Troy Goodfellow, Tom Chick, and Bruce Geryk, called Three Moves Ahead.
It’s a much more casual affair than the Gamers With Jobs Conference Call, my other weekly podcasting gig, in the sense that we just start talking and Troy hit’s record.
