n this very special episode of the EMMIE podcast celebrating the release of EMMIE's ROTTEN Issue, the editors and writers of EMMIE play a game of interview telephone during the release party for the ROTTEN Issue (a release party with a jazz band you'll hear in the background of these interviews). You'll hear the voices of Ian Hoffman, Oliver Gerharz, Nolan Majerowski, Cole Lampe, Soleil Rumpit, Lucero Dunscombe, Allie Hoffert, and Jacob Wood in a series of brief discussions about what they wrote in the ROTTEN issue, what it was like writing that, and how they ended up as a part of EMMIE.
Oh, and a special note for anyone reading the description of the last episode of the EMMIE Podcast I'll be the Podcast Director for: Thanks for listening, it's been so fun to run this podcast. I'm excited to be Editor-in-Chief next year!
