Tutor, YouTuber, Patreon dude, big brained man, and general hero of Magnus and Bruce, Liam, AKA Phoenix, is here to talk competition, high level painting and what it takes to succeed in a mad world.

Are we doing enough to bring people into competition painting? Is the community full of good painters and bad teachers? Does Magnus enjoy sleeping on the floor? We discuss all and more in this episode of the podcast featuring Froggy PHD!

When it comes to talking competition, you can't ask for better than multiple Golden Demon and Slayer Sword winner Richard Gray. As Adepticon looms closer, Rich gives us his views, hints and perspectives as one of the miniature painting GOATs.

Is two hours enough sleep? Will the relentless pace of competition ever lay off? Is community the greatest thing ever? All this and more discussed in the latest GitGud Painting Podcast.

Will Magnus ever be well again? What do we do with baby temperatures? How can we paint red? This week we answer all the important questions.

Magnus no longer remembers sleep, we leave our comfort zone and talk about all the amazing community that springs up at Monte.
