The long awaited arrival of a new segment from Amalgam, Talkin' Sports with Trev & Corb, is finally here.  It took quite a bit of planning, but we're incredibly stoked to bring you the first of many episodes.  Hosted by the mad sports genius himself, Trevor Sharpe, and fellow WSU Alum, Corbin Mendenhall, we hope you enjoy this show as much as we do making it.

Please follow Talkin' Sports with Trev & Corb on Twitter so you can join the discussion, provide feedback or suggest a topic for us to discuss next time.

For the first episode of 2019, we're joined by Mitch Williams (director/storyteller) and Sam McGhee (cinematographer), the talented duo helming Inland Film Co. in Liberty Lake, WA.  This episode has a special twist as we melded Sam & Mitch's own podcast, Cinetherapy, with Amalgam.  We're hoping to create some interesting content for both of our audiences.

Mitch and Sam were incredible hosts, and as a genuine fan of their podcast, I was honored to be a guest despite my lack of experience in the film industry.  Please give IFC and their podcast a follow on Instagram!
