It’s that time again, time for the release of the latest Envato Community Podcast. In episode 11, we were fortunate enough to have Amanda Hackwith on with us. Amanda is a RockablePress extradonaire and gaming junky. Amanda talks with us about what it’s like managing the publishing side of the company, writing a book, and of course her amazing gaming collection. Of course, we have plenty of marketplace news and updates included. Lastly, be sure to listen all the way through for some hidden gems and special music, we apologize in advance for our questionable taste of music!

Make sure you listen all the way to the end for the best easter egg from Drew.
Loved it! Made me laugh and I really like your rants, they are what makes the show so great!
Keep up the great work guys!
Okay, that was definitely one of the best yet, but AHH YOU BURNED MY EARS WITH REBECCA BLACK. I wasn’t expecting that
That special promotion wasn’t special at all
Good podcast though
I listened to the podcast the other day in the car (driving the kids around).
I always laugh when you talk about your parents and computers. I’m a grandfather, and two of my kids are in their twenties, so you’re talking about my contemporaries.
So I guess I should ask: How do I turn my computer on? How do I edit a post? What’s a comment again?
haha, thank for the comments and feedback guys!
@Adrian – You’re the very-wise-and-all knowing-slightly-older-but-very-proficient-heck-of-a-nice-guy at Envato
Lol. Thanks Drew. “Slightly older.” I can live with that. How old will you look when you’re my age?
@Adrian – The way things are going I’ll look about 16, hopefully.
I believe it! When I was 20 and married a stranger asked if I was 16. But no one has asked that in decades.
11:00 I still can’t care about the show. Get to the good stuff.
