My New Favorite Podcast!

If you love videogames and want to know more about the dev side of things, this is the podcast for you!

I learned about this podcast after Sarah Elmaleh (who is now one of the hosts) was a guest on an episode. It was a great listen and I've tried to tune in whenever I can since then!

I just finished Horizon Forbidden West so I just listened to the episode where they discussed the Horizon franchise with Ashly Burch. As a Voice Actor and a Twitch Streamer I love hearing about the casting, acting, and development process behind games. It was fantastic to hear about one of my favorite game series from those who work on it. I wish that episode was even longer haha.

Thanks for all the great insights!
