    The SML Podcast – Episode 1114: The Mazedeuteronomy Monster

    What started as a simple Mazedude interview episode evolved into a Monstrous news packed episode of weirdness. Let’s go! The show kicks off with Bri Galgano, Aki, and a Grant “Stemage” Henry substituting for Jacob Garner as we welcome Christopher “Mazedude” Getman to the show to chat about his brand musical project Words and Verses: Foundation! We chat about the origins and inspirations behind the project, how he feels being in a world where religion and faith are hot button issues, and best of all, George “norg” Nowik showed up to surprise us all so there were some super in depth musical discussions between him, Mazedude, and Grant! After a while, it’s time to tackle the news of the week as Mazedude slides back into a listener position for the majority of the rest of the show. We cover the huge news about Sony shutting down Bluepoint Studios, the latest Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus Game Catalog updates, and tons more before we dive into some reviews! Then it gets weird as we come back with Jacob Garner’s review segment with some shocking surprise breaking news: Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond have departed Xbox. What an insane few days of news and we didn’t even mention Pokémon’s releases next week… Then more reviews!
