Inspired by Thorin's reflections series. Also part of our move away from broadcasting NA matches into a form of content creation to "preserve the lore." Literally just hour-two hour long interviews about people's careers in the TF2 community

cool idea, excited for the marxist one, i could listen to that man talk about anything for hours on end
would love to see more with previous casters like for example if by some miracle someone got cbear or djc or bloodsire or someone i feel like they would be super interesting to hear talk about the game in retrospect
no idea if they'd want to but id be curious to hear from ppl who don't stream or post much publicly like bdonski, blaze, etc (or for example lansky is around in twitch chats from time to time, would be dope to hear an interview with him)

One of my ambitions with this project is not only to cover 6s but also Highlander. This interview is with Melon of the recent HL Invite winners Witness Gaming. NEARLY 4 hours long!
UGC Nostalgia and in depth discussions about what went right and wrong in her career leading up to her first highlander championship included. Maybe you'll want to go on a long journey and put it on audio.
