Ashley Ruhl Pt 2 S2



Welcome to another episode of Wasted Knowledge! If you’ve never listened; it’s essentially drunk personal history with 2 professional bartenders, TC and Sean, and a professional guest that we make drinks for.

This is part 2 of our interview with cinematic and narrative designer Ashley Ruhl. In this part we talk about playing games with a more analytical edge, story loops, drinking while gaming, drunk thoughts/experiences, and have a little malort. We recorded this interview live in Ashley’s DragonCon hotel room, so we occasionally got distracted as such, we forgot to wrap up the interview formally and just started watching TV instead. That will happen after a little rum. We edited this down quite a bit, so be sure to check out our patreon if you would like to hear the full 2 hour interview.

Diamond Dan Pt 1 “Greatest Podcast in History”



Welcome to another episode of Wasted Knowledge! If you’ve never listened; it’s essentially drunk personal history with 2 professional bartenders, TC and Sean, and a professional guest that we serve drinks to.

This interview centers around the man known as, Diamond Dan. He as had many experiences, but the reason we know him and had him on the interview was because he works for Ultra Pro as brand representative, demo-er, and go-to-guy. He is also a lot of fun to have a few beverages with and talk about life. The alternate title? Well, those are Dan’s words, but we agree.
