Soundbytes Podcast - EP 40 - Summer Catch Up

Hello! Welcome back to episode forty of Soundbytes. It has been another strange few months, as I'm sure you're all aware, but we thought we'd have a little chat and catch up about some things that have been happening.

We want to start off this month by expressing our unequivocal support for the Black Lives Matter movement and the protests against the murder of George Floyd. We're disgusted by the inhumanity and disregard for common decency displayed by the police in the USA right now, and we took a moment in this episode to discuss how we can support the protestors and the wider movement. In the episode, we mentioned the Minnesota Freedom Fund, who have been paying bail for those arrested during the protests, and the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund, set up by Floyd's grieving family. These funds are among many that are supporting this very important fight. Please help as you can.

We also discussed Derek's last day at Naughty Dog and the upcoming release of TLOU2, as well as discussing some of the cool sound related stuff that has been happening online during lockdown. We hope you're all keeping well during this crazy time.
