Next Episode: Game Nostalgia and Getting into Video Games as a Kid

The first podcast episode! I talk motivations on transitioning a niche YouTube channel into a show about pop-culture, exploring life beyond Dark Souls.

Some Souls are Bright

I have a small YouTube channel. It focuses on the Souls series of games by From Software. This includes Demons Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, Dark Souls III and Bloodborne. I love these games madly and will likely be playing them forever. But dude … there’s life beyond Dark Souls.

In this first – er, inaugural – episode I talk about branching out from the YouTube channel, aspirations for what kind of content the podcast will deliver and why you might be interested in listening.

Real Talk

I’ve been pining to start posting audio-only/podcast entries as a supplement to the YouTube videos for a while and finally took the plunge. I set up the site, set up the mic and just started talking.

Life Beyond Dark Souls: Content Diversity

The YouTube channel was born April 7, 2012. It’s been over four years (!) of almost exclusively Souls content – PvP commentaries, PvE tutorials and even some original music. Souls represents a tiny slice of my interests, however. I’m bursting with love for these games, but the topic started feeling small.

This podcast represents the “everything else worth talking about.” Take a listen and let me know what you think; I’m stoked for the new direction!
