2023 - Episode 3 - Answering the big questions (with Boomtown HQ!)

Locked in the Maze - Episode 2 - Nerdy chats with Mallrats
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.

Locked in the Maze - Episode 1 - More Bantz for your buck
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!

2020 - Episode 8 - Locked in the Maze
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...)

2020 - Episode 7 - All About IZZI
