Dogear Nation

In this week’s episode…

With Matt and Michael M recording out of their respective offices, Michael R, along with special guest Kevin Aires join from the Javits Center show floor to discuss their experiences at the Virtual Worlds 2008 conference, that is, until they were kicked out of the quiet room they found for recording. With our one year public anniversary on April 5th, and just having past our two year overall anniversary, we are very excited to have been nominated for the prestigious Bafflers award.
