August Sunny Foreshadowing

 Quick August update to keep in touch with you all listeners as I'm preparing for future episodes, scheduling conversations with creators in the weeks to come. So this is just a few minutes long to keep you in the loop and mention a couple of things that caught my attention in the past week or so as I've been catching up on a backlog of email newsletters, as I'm considering a few possible changes to the Ice Cream for Everyone website (about time, it's slow and clunky now), and the Ice Cream Sundae newsletter. 

I logged back on the Steam gaming platform to redeem a couple of coupons from new video games I'd supported the development of during Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns like Pinstripe, found out about a recent game by the creator of Monkey Island called Thimbleweed Park, and recommend Nick Quah's Hot Pod email newsletter about podcasting news and trends. 

I forgot to mention in the episode that I was also going to attend Genius Steals Faris & Rosie Yakob's WARC webinar about the ABCs [Account, Brand, Comms] of Agency Tools and Processes. This was Part 1 and it was excellent, the presentation will soon be available to download online. Part 2 is coming next month if you'd like to check it out.
