Embark on a time-traveling audio journey with Desert Island Gamer and our special guest, MrSteJ, a Twitch streaming icon revered for reviving the golden age of '80s and '90s gaming and nerd culture. Get whisked away by tales of retro gaming goodness and the pure joy of uniting gamers who relish the nostalgic echoes of pixelated pasts. As we unwind the cassette tape of our guest's life, you'll find yourself at the intersection of cherished childhood memories and the birth of a Twitch channel that has become a beacon for companionship and retro revelry.
We explore not just the games that shaped our guest's love for the humble pixel, but also the man who crafted a stage built on the magic of human connection. So join us as we discover the good, the bad and the kinda heavily Nintendo-flavoured choices our Twitch-streaming legend makes!
To the island!
And be sure to check out MrSteJ's empire of goodness (as I call it), it's big-hearted, funny, retro-infused, and all kinds of wonderful.

Ever dreamed of strolling through the gates of Disneyland without reaching for your wallet? Richard Bazley knows that feeling well, and he's here to recount the tale from his Devon roots to the heights of animation with Disney to a new-found adventure as a film director.
Richard, an Emmy-nominated animator celebrated for his work on "The Iron Giant," shares the rollercoaster ride of his career with a candor that's as refreshing as it is inspiring. He peels back the curtain on the industry's highs and lows, from the sting of layoffs to the joy of professional triumphs, proving that steadfast devotion to one's passion can truly make dreams come true.
From the golden age of 'Star Wars' to the tactile wonder of practical effects, we saunter through the annals of film, revisiting the stories that have etched themselves into our collective consciousness. Richard and I ponder the movies that would keep us company in isolation, sparking laughter as we debate the cinematic treasures we'd reluctantly feed to the flames for a bit of warmth.
Richard's parting thoughts, steeped in his profound love for storytelling and film, leave us eagerly awaiting the next chapter of his illustrious career, as well as the untold stories he has yet to share with the world.
