The first ever episode of the QuizCast has been released! You can listen to it at http://traffic.libsyn.com/qbcast/quizcast1.mp3 or find the RSS feed at http://qbcast.libsyn.com/rss.

I hope you enjoy it! If you want access to weekly updates during the quiz bowl season, please consider supporting me on my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/hsqbrank. You can also find me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HSQBRank/ or on Twitter @HSQBRank.
