  • The Final Katt: Take us through a typical day, start to finish. When do you sleep??
  • Brian Foster: Walk us through Critical Role. We don't have to go through all the technical shit and how many cameras and like what cables you connect to which cameras but like walk us through a Thursday night 'cause I know you guys have talked about this before.
  • Jonathan Yeap: How many people are needed behind the scenes, and how much maintenance does the stream require while it is live?
