Episode 047 - Catching Up with Alfred State University Esports

Your host, Joe "Rakaul" Belousek, dives head first into esports; professional and collegiate. 

Colleges are joining the esports hype train and they all have a different take. If professional esports are the Wild West, collegiate esports is unexplored frontier. I investigate the founding, the administrative involvement, student culture and the plans for growing esports on campus. 

With the occasional deviation for professional esports, esports businesses and game developer interviews, we'll cover large swathes of gaming culture. Join me as I learn, game, grow and become more involved! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thesummoninghour/support
