This week is a big episode! I have a really exciting guest joining me for the second half of the show:
Frank Hopewell-Smith!
Frank is a gay man who works for 2CV, a global market research agency, where he helps video games with marketing, branding, and appealing to the “everyperson gamer.” Frank wears a lot of hats, and during his career he has worked on a ton of games, including a bunch that you’ve definitely heard of!
Before the interview, in the first half of the show, I’m joined by Ekamy where we talk about what we’ve been playing and the news. This week there were a lot of headlines, and we tried our best to be as brief as possible (not our strong suit… whoops haha).
Oh? There’s also been a big update to the podcast…
…we have a THEME SONG!! It was composed by the lovely and talented Diana Kotzin, and it adds so much character to the show!
Finally, I would like to personally apologize for the audio quality in the segment with Ekamy. I had some technical difficulties with the audio recording and I did my best to salvage it with Adobe’s podcast enhance feature.
