Lost In The Maze

Rob Boggins, the sadly now ex-Editor in Chief of Boomtown's illustrious, infamous (and, well, only) newspaper, The Daily Rag, interviewed publically for the first time, tells all to Corinne and Mark about his time in control of the media (and, probably, our thoughts...)

Sketchy Background has now taken over the reigns of the Rag from Boggins, and can be contacted on Instagram @thedailyragboomtown

As ever, please give us a follow and let us know what you think on Insta @LostintheBTMaze

[Disclaimer: We tried something new with the mic set up in this one that didn't really work too well (oops) so some of the audio isn't as good/consistent as I'd like!]

Mark and Corinne are back! Summing up Boomtown 2022 with a much delayed review and summing up of 2023!

We've missed you! give us a shout on Instagram and let us know how you all are doing! : @LostintheBTMaze

We will be back this year with more content and interviews! 

In the second episode of our new season delving into the world of immersive theatre and games that you can enjoy from home, we chat to the guys from Sabotage the DM, The Waterdeep Mallrats (sabotagethedm on Twitch and YouTube, @sabotagethedm on Instagram).  They are a group of immersive actors (Joe Thorpe, Rob Thompson, Dan Burman, Gabrielle MacPherson and Evie James) playing a live, interactive D&D game weekly on Twitch on Monday nights at 7pm. As they refer to it, it's immsersive storytelling in a fantasy world!

We nerd out with them about all things related to D&D, and a bit about our first love, Boomtown (yep, they've all performed there too!) and about other projects they've been working on during this weird old year of lockdown life.

Lost in the Maze is back, back, back again with a new series for 2021 where we look into other immersive theatrical and gaming experiences, you can have during lockdown, from the comfort of your own  home!

We may have nothing new from Boomtown to talk about, however what we do have is someone (or well, two someones) who we know from Boomtown to talk to about what exciting projects they're working on right now (and to chat a little bit about their time at Boomtown, obvs)

In the first episode, we chat to the man, the legend, everyone's favourite, Mr. Bliss himself - Liam.

We recently had the pleasure of doing one of his latest interactive online gaming adventures, BantzQuest (brought to you by BuckBuck Games - http://www.buckbuckgames.com/) - An online team game, MC'd by a live interactive host, where you and your friends go on an adventure through the nightclub of your dreams in a quest to get your ultimate club banger played by the one and only, DJ MEGABANTZ.

We chat to Liam about what we thought of BantzQuest, about his other projects and his career in immersive theatre.  We also bring in some friends of ours who were on our kick-ass BantzQuest team to talk in a bit more detail about our experience.  As well as all that, we have the pleasure of the company of Dan, a BantzQuest MC/host, and veteran of Boomtown and other theatrical projects (one of which we will be discussing in a later episode...)

In each episode of this new series we will be talking about another interactive event/game/experience that you we've enjoyed and that you to can get invovled with.  If you're running out of ideas for your lockdown Friday nights, we've got you covered!

Mark and Corinne are (FINALLY) back with another episode! Tune in for a little Boomtown wrap up, what's kept us busy during lockdown and info about where the podcast is going from here...

Make sure you check out the Pictures of Gwen Group on Facebook, and Rogue Beacon's Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roguebeacon/pictures-of-gwen-episode-1 

Recorded live on Saturday 2nd May 2020, join Mark and Corinne plus special guests, Tobi (boomtown newbie from episode 5) and Ramsay and Luke (part of the team who created the ARG) to discuss all things ARG and Maze related, plus we hear stories from our awesome community,

Thanks for being a part of it - big love <3

In this episode, Mark and Corinne wrap up as many loose ends as they are able to (which is definitely not all of them) from this year's sadly short-lived ARG.

Please join us in a couple of weeks for a special LIVE community episode!

In the meantime, come try to fill in the gaps with us in the Boomtown Storyline Facebook group, and please send in your favourite stories/moments from the Maze so we can share them in the community episode (if you haven't already!) - [email protected]

Mark and Corinne are back with another round-up of all the latest from the ARG. What's the latest on OneCor's 'rescue' mission into Area404? What else are we learning from th3c3ll? And have we got any better idea of exactly what Hedron is up to..?

Slightly earlier than scheduled for this episode - aren't we good to you guys?  Stay safe, stay inside, play the game, listen to podcasts!

It's time for another fortnightly roundup of all things Maze related from Mark and Corinne, featuring the latest antics of OneCor and IZZI on their 'rescue' mission into Area404, some increasingly confusing hidden content from th3c3ll and speculation on what Hedron is getting up to...

Times are strange right now, but we all need a bit of escapism.  We're going to keep doing these as long as you keep listening (and probably even if you don't...)

In this week's ARG recap, Mark and Corinne talk about the exciting adventures of OneCor's drone, IZZI (@thisisIZZI on Twitter) and the communications that have been established with survivors inside Area404...

They also have some VERY exciting exclusive news to reveal ahead of Boomtown's announcement tomorrow (March 10th) at 1pm!

Stay tuned to the Facebook group Boomtown Storyline for information and updates!

Please keep sending in your Boomtown Maze stories to [email protected] - hopefully these will form part of a regular segment in the podcast!
