Summary
Rascal 's article about the fate of Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast , and that of its creators, sparked a significant amount of interest, questions, and criticism. The team decided to dedicate this week's podcast episode to a larger and more casual conversation tackling those inquiries. Thomas and Chase start by discussing the reporting process and the limitations this article faced, paired with frustrations regarding how tabletop news is discussed online. In the second half, the pair tackle some direct questions and criticism sent in by readers. It's a long episode, and maybe not as fun as our normal fare. But if you're curious about how Rascal does journalism then this will hopefully be an insightful listen. Regular programming resumes next week! -- Hosted by Chase Taylor-Carter ( @chasecarter.bsky.social ). Featuring Thomas Manuel ( @newmadras.bsky.social ). Theme song by People Need Goals.
