Hello and welcome to the ZimmCast. I'm Chuck Zimmerman. We'll have a final ZimmCast podcast at the end of the year. But in the meantime… I'm sharing an interview with Josh Turney, founder of Rooster and Roadrunner. I did ask if he'll be starting another bird name company soon.

I'm sure you'll hear from us soon. That's the ZimmCast for now. I hope you like it and thank you for listening.

We think we're onto some real good panel ideas. We've been thinking that we should do a nice maple veneer over plywood.

Of course for convention panel ideas, we're still putting those together. At the very least we have manga to keep things on course. First up is Tim with Trillion Game. We begin at the end of the story, with Hark and Gaku having reached the coveted spot of trillionaires. This causes Gaku to start reflecting on how … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 548: Rooster Game"
