In the middle of the night, Roland and Proud discuss the smaller things about the mid-lane. Touching on do's and do not's.

Me midder's aside, this episode walks you through concepts that you may not know you already do. It's always good to know why you are a 'me mid.' This and more on Proudland: Fiddle my Middle.
