Retro World Expo Podcast Roundup (Pt2) Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

Here's part 2 of the compilation podcast featuring some of the awesome guests of Retro World Expo. While the chats were equally as fun as pt1, nature and battery life started to take it's toll: The sky blackened and we were getting tornado warnings on our phone, my lav mic cut out during the end of Dustin's interview, then the second lav cut out at the end of the chat with Chris, leaving just the boom mic. Also, I'd been recording from about 10:30AM till 7PM, so I was getting a bit loopy. LOL, so, basically, it's exactly as if you slid over a chair and were there hanging out with us, technical issues and all! I really hope you enjoy these regardless of audio issues and get to know these awesome guests a bit more!

Retro World Expo Podcast Roundup (Pt1) Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

Over the weekend of August 2022, I had the privilege of meeting up with a bunch of awesome people at Retro World Expo. I decided to set up a "podcast station" (with the help of My Life In Gaming) and have a chat with many of the awesome people from the retro gaming scene. The goal was to compile all the conversations together in chronological order, so people who weren't able to attend can feel like they were there hanging out with us as the day (and crazy weather!) went on. I sadly wasn't able to get to everyone, but there's some awesome people here!

Here's an interview with professional musician, writer and longtime RetroRGB contributor, Rany Battikh. I've considered Rany a friend for a long time now and it was absolutely awesome to invite him over and be able to do a podcast. If you like music (especially metal \m/), retro games and hearing interesting stories about cool places like Lebanon where Rany lives, you'll enjoy this one!
