Listen "Cons are dead"

Episode Synopsis

Erwin and I discuss the state of conventions. Are there too many? Conventionally, the more competition of cons, the better it'll be. But what does that mean for consumers? Going to cons isn't cheap, and if you have a variety of interests, it can put a pretty good dent on the wallet pocket.
So at this point, is consolidation a net positive?
We also bring back our segment, "What we hyped for?"
Thanks for listening
