Nate has a special announcement for listeners of Let's Play. We have a temporary show outage because Nate's studio has no power. Crews are hard at work trying to restore power to the neighborhood, but as of right now there is no estimated time that service will be restored.
In the meantime, we would ask that you leave us some feedback with an iTunes review or by connecting with Nate on Twitter @NateBenderama. Thank you for your understanding.
