Kickstarter for Season 3 coverage

The economy and the changing world of advertising have been hard on lots of companies, and Dragon SportsTalk Radio is no exception. That’s why we’re appealing to the fans to help keep FSL Tonight on the air.

Even if you can only give ONE DOLLAR, every bit helps. In fact if every listener of FSL Tonight last year gave TWO DOLLARS, we’d have enough to insure season 3 coverage continues without a hitch.

So please, take a moment, to look at the amazing benefits of becoming a backer of FSL Tonight. And we’ll see you for the season kick-off May 25! (Unless you all are too cheap).

VISIT THE FSL TONIGHT KICKSTARTER

Listen to our plea episode of the podcast where we beg you. It’s embarrassing.

Season One of S&L Video coming to an end!

​The S&L studio team does jazz hands.

As many of you may know from the most recent audio podcast, the video edition of S&L is coming to an end (for now). Huge thanks to Geek & Sundry for making the whole thing possible, for our friends at Pixel Corps for the production and post-production services (and for being awesome in general), and to Fonco Creative for bringing our set (and Lem) to life!​

Tom and I are looking into new ways to keep the show alive going forward, so don’t fret! We have our hands full right now will getting the anthology off the ground, but we promise you we’re working on it. ​

Episodes of the video show will continue through the end of March, and you can always keep up with the book club on Goodreads and the audio podcast!
