Victor Vera is the Community Manager and Event Lead for Crucible Radio, a popular podcast dedicated discussing Destiny 2, an online-only multiplayer first-person shooter game. Crucible Radio covers strategies, tips, map guides, and more. Vic and I discuss everything that an outsider like me needs to know about the gaming industry: Twitch, how kids are actually making thousands of dollars broadcasting themselves gaming, how new games like Apex and Fortnite are free, yet still wildly profitable, and what it’s like to do community management on behalf of a podcast as successful as Crucible Radio. If you’re interested in learning more about Destiny or Crucible Radio, you can find them online at www.crucibleradio.com, on Discord, Patreon or anywhere you listen to your podcasts!
