All Systems Brough - Introduction
The Secret Lives of Games
Outro
Hosts thank guests, recap next steps for the Brough year, and invite listeners to the Discord and channels.
We're joined by Frank Lantz (Q-UP) and Mare Sheppard + Raigan Burns of Metanet (N++) for the first episode of All Systems Brough, a year-long exploration of the work of Michael Brough. We share our thoughts on why Michael's oeuvre demands a deep dive, add some historical context, and share the plan for the year ahead. We also introduce a (final?) rebrand to the podcast!
