I became familiar with the work Prometheus and Amuro were doing after a guest recommended their site and podcast to me because we shared similar interests. I am glad I took her up on the recommendation, as these guys work hard for their audience and deliver solid content both in audio and written format. They deliver a healthy mix of articles, shows, and tremendous community engagement all while working regular jobs. I respect their dedication to the craft and their approach to content creation. Let’s turn it over to the PTWoR crew to see what Toys & Tech of the Trade they rely on.
