This will sadly be the final episode of Generations Apart. As much as we have enjoyed the process of producing this show throughout the year, it has become increasingly difficult to balance the commitment in time around our busy day jobs. We have decided that 50 was a good number to stop at and so just short of one year since we started, we will be calling it a day.

So on todays episode we are taking a look back at our favourite moments of the show and looking ahead to what tech and gaming may have in store for us all in 2024.
