Tusk Talk Podcast Episode 19: Talking Old School With Danny Friedman
Welcome to another episode of TuskTalk with Team Tusk. Today we have Evan Nyquist (HymnYou) talking with Danny Friedman (@danny_friedman_) of Chicago’s Lords of the Pit. Danny is one of the few people who have as much or more enthusiasm for Old School as we do. Chicago’s scene has grown tremendously, and we dig deep in Old School, and talk about some of Danny’s recent adventures at NoobCon, various Chicago tournaments, and the upcoming premier inaugural Old School Player’s Ball.
