Limited Engagement

Hey, everyone. Yes, it's true, Limited Engagement is over, but if you liked the show, and maybe you miss the show, there's good news!

Eventually, the show will grow to feature interviews, review segments from other voices, and more, but for now, it's just what you've grown to (hopefully) love--two friends shooting the shit about Life, the Universe, and Everything. To learn more about Mental Platypus, please visit http://mentalplatypus.com

This is it, the final episode of Limited Engagement. It's been a wild five and a half years. Thank you all so much for listening! Also, if you're so inclined, please follow myself and Jason Keil on our next endeavor, Mental Platypus.

Only problem is no one on the bill was doing interviews (at least no one who responded), so what to do? Well, wing it. This episode is a recap of the two day event broken up by a couple of mini interviews--the first with Jason Woodbury about his work with Zia Records and their pop-up record shop/artist signing tent; the second with Ed Masley about how he covers events such as this for the AZ Republic (as well as a few pointers for a media rookie).
