Ep. 19: "Achievement Unlocked: Trans Rights!" (If Found w/ Jasmine Mosebar)

*TIMESTAMPS Below*

This week we’re joined by our friend Jasmine Mosebar (she/her) to discuss Irish indie dev. Dreamfeel’s hit 2020 visual novel: If Found…: a coming of age story about a trans girl named Kasio returning to her small Irish hometown one fateful December in 1993.

We talk about how refreshing it is to have queer/trans stories that aren’t centered around romance or coming out, the game's brilliant "erasing" mechanic, and how this game sets a new standard for trans storytelling in not just video games, but ALL mediums. Plus we talk about the ARTPOP renaissance,  the return of E3, The Last of Us (again), our childhood love of Guitar Hero, anime, music, and so much more!

Our guest Jasmine Mosebar is an actor, comedian, writer, & theatre practitioner who prides herself on her work as an activist and advocate for the Transgender community through different mediums including public speaking, sensitivity training, and creative consultation on trans characters & narratives in film, theatre, and gaming.

She is a volunteer/streamer for Qweerty Gamers, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that champions the inclusion and visibility of LGBTQ Gamers into the broader gaming world. You can catch her streams on the Qweerty Gamers Twitch Channel, on her own Twitch: owBarb, and you can find her on Instagram @jazzymosey and @owbarb
