Every week, Now You Know recaps the Know Direction content of the past week, previews the Know Direction content of the week to come, and shares the thoughts on the state of the network from the director of operations, Ryan Costello.
Just a quick update on the future of the flagship, there are a few more variables in play since we announced the Know Direction podcast’s hiatus. We don’t want to set a new plan into motion only to have to change directions yet again. The extended delay is unfortunate, but we definitely want to find the right solution, not the quickest.
When we sort that out, you can also expect a shuffling of our other content. As you’ll see in this week’s recap and preview, Block 1 of our two block schedule features more content at this point, and I’d like to even the two blocks out again.
Speaking of Know Direction Network content, here’s a recap of the Know Direction podcasts, blogs, and streams from last week:

Fox’s Cunning — Destroyer of Shins
Last week, Dustin messaged me to say “Can’t do an article this week. Absolutely overburdened with work, sorry!” Only to message me minutes later with “Actually, here’s a short and silly one.”
That short and silly one ended up being one of his most popular, based on social media reactions.

Presenting – David N. Ross
I’ve known David causally for years now, and I feel like I’ve been fairly aware of the content he puts out, but a concentrated thirty minute conversation about all of his work really cements how much he’s contributed to the games we play.
