Josh apologizes

April 10, 2009 By: Meg Category: Uncategorized 7 Comments →

Dear Listener,

Due to recent negative backlash, that my behavior has caused, I need to offer an apology.  My behavior was irrational and inexcusable and for it, I apologize.

I am working with my cohosts to “rebirth” Brilliant Gameologists.  Same humor, less hate-er-aid.  It is my hope that this podcast will continue to entertain and inform its listeners for many years to come.
