<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jon and Leigh welcome Regina Kirby back to <em>50 Days of Dragon Con</em> to chat about  about the role of the Senior Director of Programming.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regina reminds us that the Dragon keeps things tentative until the last moment, it juggles room assignments like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Gatto">Anthony Gatto</a> <em>(a name I totally knew before writing this)</em>, and is a balancing act that would make Simone Biles jealous. </p>
