The 2024 Game of the Year Spectacular
Into the Aether - A Low Key Video Game Podcast
Engaging Audience with Exciting Giveaways
This chapter focuses on an engaging giveaway designed to boost listener interaction on social media platforms. Participants have the chance to win a month of premium Patreon access by participating in the contest and sharing their entries online.
Gather round, gather round — it's that wonderful time of year once again. Stephen, Brendon, and AJ gather around a (virtual) fireplace to discuss the very best of video gaming in 2024 in their eyes, in the eyes of the Discord community, and in the eyes of our special guests. And they also eat some lunch...which is more notable than you think it is.
