Stopping by the cast to talk about the business of speculation as well as the business Quiet Speculation is Doug Linn. Doug is a cofounder and co-owner of QuietSspeculation.com, and technically, he’s Corbin’s and Jason’s “boss,” so when he tells Corbin to shut up, he kind of has to. With Theros spoilers, controversy surrounding QS’s ads on MTGCast, and the very nature of speculation to discuss, the cast is bound to be completely packed with information. This is one episode you won’t want to miss if you want to step up your finance game—or just make your Friday work day feel a little less tedious. Who sounds like they’re podcasting from inside a monsoon? Who will Doug say is the better writer, Jason or Corbin? Will anyone be able to figure out how to pronounce any of the creatures’ names in this set? Find out the answer to all these questions and more on a finance-jammed installment of your favorite MTG finance podcast that will leave you asking, “Why is bestow so complicated?” Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.
