Community Spotlight
This week’s spotlight is on Terrifying Tales! I was replaying Halo Reach these past few weeks, and I thought of his excellent story set in that universe called A Son of Reach.
I will also take any excuse I get to talk about my excellent interview with him on Episode 40 of this very podcast.
Got someone in mind who you think should be featured in the spotlight? Tag them in the comments.
