Welcome to Chapter 72!

I’ve got an incredibly fun conversation for you this month with the folks from Goblin Booth Productions which is a media production company from Norman that moved into the world of publishing in May by releasing their first book - First Degree Magic by J.M. Linkhart. In this conversation, I’m joined by the author of First Degree Magic, Jessica Linkhart, (who also happens to be the creative director of Goblin Booth Productions) and two other members of the GBP crew - Jamie Sykes (who handles the business side of Goblin Booth) and Mitchell Lewis (Goblin Booth’s art director and designer). We talk about First Degree Magic, how Goblin Booth got started, their work in the podcasting and audio space, the challenges and opportunities of independent content creation, and we get to the bottom of why they are called Goblin Booth.
