Hey buddies and colleagues! After 35 years behind the scenes, I’ve determined to push myself outdoors my consolation zone and step in entrance of the microphone.

Today I’m launching re:Play, which is a long-form interview podcast targeted on the individuals who constructed (and are nonetheless constructing) the video games trade. The makers, the operators, the historians, the writers, the individuals behind the individuals. And sure, even the executives.

The promise is easy: peer-to-peer, not press-to-talent.

And whereas I can’t say I like listening to my very own voice, we’re launching with two episodes I’m genuinely pleased with:

🎙️ Episode 1 — Amir Satvat. We all know and love Amir — he is the individual whose Thanksgiving 2022 spreadsheet blew up into ASGC, the free group that has now positioned greater than 5,000 sport employees into jobs. Amir is, in my skilled and never humble in any respect opinion, one of the essential (and wonderful) individuals in our trade proper now.

🎙️ Episode 2 — Van Burnham. Author of Supercade. Arcade historian. Really, the individual most accountable for the truth that this medium’s historical past has been written down in any respect. She’s collected practically 500 coin ops (I’m very jealous) and is now constructing what she hopes will change into gaming’s first world-class museum.

If you may indulge me I’d like to elucidate why I made this. The video games enterprise goes by means of the toughest stretch I’ve watched in 35 years, and the individuals who really know what’s taking place — those who’ve lived by means of downturns earlier than, those constructing by means of this one, those preserving what got here earlier than — are largely not the individuals getting microphones held in entrance of them. I’m attempting to repair that, in no matter small method one podcast can.

So, please, should you might observe, subscribe, like, share, and naturally hear wherever you get your podcasts, I’d be extremely appreciative:
Apple · Spotify · YouTube · replaypodcast.com

We’ve bought new episodes dropping each Tuesday by means of July. The slate forward consists of wonderful peeps like Cord Smith, Michael Yum, Mark Nash, Charlie Rosen, Justin Woodward, Seth Killian, Raph Koster, Jack Buser, and Brian Fleming (to call just a few) — plus a SXSW stage bonus from earlier this 12 months with Maya Rogers (The Tetris Company) and Shuji Utsumi (SEGA) coming later this summer time. Definitely extra to come back.

Getting again to begging — if you wish to assist (you already know you do): the one most helpful factor is to observe the present on Apple or Spotify as we speak. According to individuals smarter than me, follows within the first 72 hours transfer the charts. I’ll be saying that for some time. I hope you do not thoughts.

Thank you!!!
