What’s It Like Being a Twitch Streamer?

A lot has been happening around Twitch, a platform that really
seems to live in its own world on the internet. On today’s show,
Rachelle is joined by Gita Jackson who explains exactly why Twitch
can feel so insular even though the audience is enormous. They also
talk about the poorly planned TwitchCon, and the horrible things
that have led streamer Amouranth to take a break from the site.
