We have made it another hundred episodes! For the past few mile marker episodes Ive been focusing on people that have helped me on my podcasting journey and helped make the show what it is and this episode's guest is no different. I am joined by probably my favorite podcaster of all time for this episode, Matt Gourley. Matt and I talk about how he got started in podcasting, unexpected challenges in podcasting, how he became a part of Conan O'Brien's podcast and we are even joined by a famous deceased author! Matt was absolutely wonderful and you should go listen to his plethora of podcasts. Superego, I Was There Too, James Bonding, With Gourley and Rust, Pistol Shrimps Radio, Mallwalkin', Bonanas for Bonanza, Keys to the Kingdom, Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.

The moblins are revolting! For the penultimate episode of Dexter and I's look into the Legend of Zelda cartoon we are breaking down episode 12, "The Moblins are Revolting!". I won't sugar coat it, this is probably the worst episode of the Zelda cartoon in a while. Not even the legendary horror icon Elvira could save it either. Follow Dexter on social media!

I obviously love video games and one thing that I wish there was more of a focus on in the online gaming discourse is what other benefits we get from gaming besides the social aspects and hand dexterity etc. In this episode I got to chat with friend of the show Nadia Oxford about her recently released book "From Pixels to Prose: What Video Games Taught Me About Storytelling" from Retro Game Books, which dives into an element of what I mentioned prior, video games teaching us about media in ways we may not expect. I had a lot of fun chatting with Nadia about her book, about what videos have taught her about storytelling and writing and about who she hopes this book will appeal to. Please go check out her book, its funny, insightful and a wonderful read all around.

I usually focus on individual games on this show but every now and then I like to take a look at a genre of games (sub genre maybe?) This week on the show I am joined by Jenny Windom who works at Wholesome Games and is one of the people who organizes their Wholesome Games Direct showcase and Wholesome Snack showcase every year. I ask her what to her makes a game "wholesome"? Is there such a thing as too wholesome? How do they curate their game selection? And also if there was a sandwich named after her, what would it be!? This episode was a wholesome delight to record and I hope you all enjoy it!

This episode was recorded LIVE on twitch! This is a rare solo episode for me. I took my panel on the history of James Bond in video games and did a live recording on twitch of it with the presentation! Learn all about Bond's journey through video games and how as the medium has evolved so Bond in games.
