About This Episode
In this week’s MASSIVE episode (it kind of got away from us…) Bubba catches up with longtime friend and Founder/Ministry Leader of the Back Row Baptist. If you’re an avid listener of the BRB Podcast, you’ve heard the first part, already. Go ahead and skip to 35:45 for our interview with Matt Coker about why he makes games and the barriers he sidesteps to make his dreams become reality. Matt Warmbier and Kate Kadowaki get the week off, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of Free Play in this week’s episode.
