Who am I?
A long time video game fan and blogger on instagram, I started collecting video games as a hobby in 2009 when I got my Sega Dreamcast and it only took off from there! I started podcasting in 2021 as a way to share my love for video game history and collecting, while also using it as a way to stay connected with my sister and co-host Alex. Since the show has begun we’ve evolved from a mostly video game focused show to a nostalgia based show that covers both gaming and anime. Video games and anime have always been an escape for me when it comes to the stress of try to manage a productive life. One of my favorite parts of the hobby is learning and sharing the history to help others enjoy and expand their own interests. After collecting and researching games and anime for over 14 years my knowledge on the subject has expanded to a degree that I believe I can help other truly grasp what makes this hobby awesome.
