Exiting the Dungeon

Published on: 13th August, 2018

The day after the events of the Dungeon Crawl for the Cure, we were able to set down with the event organizer, Shawn White and his friend/volunteer Ashley, and we begin to dissect this massive undertaking. Covering everything beginning to put the event together to the last minute decisions that helped shape the success of this amazing charity. We do take some time to go over "the final battle" and the crawl itself. Shawn discusses improvements that others had suggested and his excitement to implement them in future crawls. You also get to hear about asking a bank for 160 gold pieces and how they respond. This leads to the conversation of currency and the weight of a two dollar bill. We had an amazing time with our guests.

About your host

Chris Parsons

My name is Chris Parsons, and about 5 years ago, I started a podcast with an old computer and a microphone that I found on eBay. The title of that show was Entertain the Geeky. More than anything, ETG served as a means of filling a void, which my sales job had left in my life. I was no longer part of the nerdy industry that I loved; I had sold out. It couldn't end like that! So, I got in touch with a friend who worked at a comic book shop, with me, and asked if he would be interested in hanging out on Sundays and recording this goofy show with me. He was on board and we were off to the races. More than anything, we over-promised and under-delivered. We started designing tabletop games, we onboarded sponsors, and we started a second title. With plans for a third show and a bright future ahead of us, we pressed on! Life had a different plan... I left my sales job and moved. Recording slowed drastically and ETG started to die. I started an online business, and went to work part time for a gaming store, with another friend from the comic shop that I used to work at. He like me, loves to talk and we decided to,(you guessed it) start a podcast.
We started the show Who Wears the Pants, and have had a blast pushing through the almost therapeutic recording sessions. My co-host started a new business and it reminded me of the birth of my first show. I was able to look back and see some of what I had done wrong , with podcasting in particular. I had arrived at the conclusion that I had only began to scratch the surface of my potential within this domain. The growth and potential of ETG and the fulfillment of WWTP existed somewhere in a new show. Here we are now. With a new show that focuses on the extraordinary that exists within the seemingly normal. We are only slightly average.
