David is joined by Jesse Collins and Alex McCumbers of Twin Galaxies to discuss the Billy Mitchell story they broke out, and where that leads to in its wake.
Our ARGcast news sections as of late has been leading up to this. Billy Mitchell has had his high scores taken down, and is banned from submitting more in the future. Where does that leave Billy and Twin Galaxies? David catches up with Twin Galaxies head of editorial Jesse Collins and the writer who broke the story Alex McCumbers to discuss.
