My new podcast is an ongoing, serialized fantasy narrative called SKALD, and it'd really mean a lot to me if you, the STRAIGHT SHOOT SOCIETY, were to check it out. That's why I'm posting the very first installment here, in the STRAIGHT SHOOT feed. SKALD isn't wrestling related, but it's something I've worked extremely hard on and am very excited about, so I hope you'll give it a listen. Even if you don't though, I promise I'm not going to make a habit of this. If you enjoy it, please make sure to subscribe at skald.podomatic.com or just search for SKALD on iTunes and Stitcher. And of course...make sure to tell all your friends on social media and in real life. Thanks for giving SKALD a shot! Big thanks to Tommy Smith (@tommy_smith) for our amazing cover art and to Mike Bamonte (@mikebamonte) for his audio knowhow and mastering skills.
