The (Not So) Humble BragCast is proud to welcome its next guest, Michelle Learish, known online as Witchi_Michi!

Michelle will be the first female guest on the podcast. Michelle is a transgender woman, and is going to tell her story about her transition, the support system she had making the decision, and some of the positives and negatives about being transgender in the United States (don’t worry folks, no politics will be discussed, just facts). But that’s not all - Michelle is spearheading a HUGE project that will certainly grab the attention of anyone who plays Dungeons & Dragons. Michelle will tell you all about her content for D&D 5e in accordance with Wizards of the Coast’s System Reference Document that was released under a creative commons license. Be among the first to hear all about this exciting new project and its future kickstarter campaign! And how about a digital battlemap board that will revolutionize the way the game is played, leading to shorter battle encounters, shorter sessions, higher immersion, and easier scheduling? DnD may be about to be revolutionized, and Michelle is the brilliant mind behind it!

Stepping up to the plate as my next podcast guest is a man I’ve known for a very long time, fellow New York Yankees fan, Richard LoCascio!

Rich currently makes a living in the world of Radio Sales, an interesting avenue that proves that radio clearly isn’t dead. He’s also a huge travel enthusiast who claims to be a master of planning road trips. We’ll talk about what the essentials are for making the perfect vacation destination happen by saddling up behind the wheel and going fully prepared - as I too love to take road trips as my mode of travel. During his journey, Rich became a master at the mobile game Pokémon Go, which encourages players to “get out and go,” allowing Rich to reach the pinnacle of the game - Level 50! And of course, Rich and I share a connection to the crazy, yet fun, world of independent professional wrestling, as Rich has been lucky enough to work as an announcer for various independent promotions in the midwest.
