  <description>Steven Masuch is a "character actor of the web," with a variety of projects under his belt and a day job building iOS apps. He hosts the Slam for Hope Pog Tournament (http://slamforhope.com/) each year in Vancouver BC, Canada, with the 5th one coming up (and still accepting players and donations) on November 22nd. We go deep on something I completely missed while growing up (because I was 20 years old already). It's everything there is to know about pogs.
