The Indie Informer

Looking Back At The Indie Informer’s 2023

The Indie Informer is going on Winter Break! The amazingly talented John Carson and I are taking time to recharge before hitting the ground running January 15. You may see the odd post or steam during that time, but for the most part, we will be hibernating. Which gives everyone a chance to catch up on all the spectacular indie coverage we’ve had on the site this year! Enjoy the winter wonderland below, and we will see you in 2024!
