An informal sit-down with Patchcloak Adam. A man of many talents, voices, and stories! I know Adam for his voice acting and story telling at my local D&D table. Join me as I learn about why he knows how to talk into a microphone correctly, how he got into D&D, and the story he will one day tell. Stick around to the end when I 'open the floor' to other players from our table. Adam on stand up - and some cool stories from film school. Thanks Adam!!
