Good Game with Sarah Spain

How the (Mostly Vegetarian) Sausage is Made with Big Citrus

Big Citrus jumps on to offer a peek behind the curtain at Good Game HQ! Over the past month a ton of you Slices took the Listener Survey, so today Sarah, Alex and Bianca answer some of your questions, consider a few of your ideas, and tell you how the (mostly vegetarian) sausage is made. When they record, why they sometimes skip the Need To Know, and why Taylor Swift should already be making her way back to MSG... Plus, they clear up one point that has some of you Slices scratching your heads. * Fill out the Good Game survey here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHh-KMSm9fc-ht9DzEyIT4oJR9w62qM_E5mUtYYC4kDKV9FQ/viewform?usp=dialog] * You can now WATCH Sarah’s interviews!
