Gil: The MUTANT SEASON

So my middle son Gil has a Nerdist Industries podcast and his own twitter account. He learned about entertaining and putting on shows from Mo Fathelbab and the NerdMelt crew over the Summer break in 2011. He wasn’t sent to camp or participated in other seasonal activities because hanging at Meltdown Comics and the NerdMelt Theater was all he wanted to do. Katie Levine, who produces podcasts for Chris Hardwick, spotted Gil when he was on Mo and DC Pierson’s Nerdy Secrets show. She gave him a test run and it went beyond everyone’s expectations. Now, more than 10 episodes in, “The Mutant Season with Gil” is picking up steam and picking up followers.

Please take the time to check out some of my son’s past shows. Hope you find them to your liking. If you do, please “Like”, follow and/or comment on iTunes: https://bitly.com/itunesTheMutantSeason

Meltdown’s own Satine Phoenix (http://satinephoenix.net/) is Hosting a 4 table Celebrity gaming event. Each table, with up to 6 players per table, will be running the same adventure written by Celebrity Writer Keith Baker (creator of Eberron, who will also be DMing one of the 4 tables.)

The fundraising part of this event starts HERE! We’re working with Stickam.com to bring to you, wherever in the world you are, Pay Per View access to each table. With a minimum payment of $1 you can watch how one table of creatives solves this adventure. Don’t limit yourself to one group, watch all 4 tables! But that’s not all, you’ll be able to purchase the adventure as a PDF for $5 to play with your own group of gamers!

The proceeds will then be announced the following Monday (allowing all who wish to continue to donate through the weekend to do so) and presented to Reach Out and Read.

What exactly is Reach Out and Read?
Reach Out and Read Is an evidence-based nonprofit organization that promotes early literacy and school readiness in pediatric exam rooms nationwide by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud.
