About Us
The Threshing Floor Podcast debuted in November of 2021 following the announcement of major changes to the game of Redemption which included the first rotation in the game's 25+ year history. Knowing the impact these changes would have on the game and already desiring a platform for discussion on the game to keep players informed and connected to the greater Redemption community, Hendrix took action and created The Threshing Floor Podcast. If you would like to read more about the history of the podcast and our hosts, check out our About Us page. If you are new to the game of Redemption, we have put together some valuable information for you here.
