In this episode the boys catch up with Rob Riviezzo to examine if our hobby is in a crisis given the current state of world economics and its impact on our hobby. Fear not! This is NOT a political rant or discussion, but a look at the current economic situation and the impacts on the hobby that we love. None of us profess to be economic geniuses, and as such we are coming at this from the layman’s point of view.
