Esports commentary veterans are banding together to form Last Free Nation (LFN), a talent-owned podcasting media network. Led by esports personalities Christopher “MonteCristo” Mykles and Duncan “Thorin” Shields, the team plans to elevate their already popular esports content.
To accomplish their goals, Last Free Nation has also brought on podcast media expert Peter Morris to the board. With prior experience at PodcastOne, Barstool Sports, IMAX and Funny or Die, Morris will serve as Last Free Nation’s CEO.
“Peter’s incredible knowledge of content creation, distribution, and monetization, as well as a perfect alignment with our long-term creative vision, will unlock myriad new doors for driven esports talent to build something that we own for the first time in our industry,” explained MonteCristo in a press release.
Unlike most esports content, Last Free Nation will produce independent content – without influence from publishers, event organizers or teams. MonteCristo, Thorin and other signed talent — such as Richard Lewis, Christian “IWillDominate” Rivera, Auguste “Semmler” Massonnat, Wolf Schröder, Daniel “Dgon” Gonzales, and Alex “MauiSnake” Ellenberg — are already known by fans for their engaging commentary and unfiltered takes.
