Jeremy Winslow stopped by to chat for Episode 152. Jeremy is a cofounder of GroundPunch and is a writer and gamer who likes to intersect the two passions of his.

Jeremy and I discuss making lemonade out of college lemons; why his writing blends social issues through the lens of gaming; two guys ruminating on how children should be raised (when neither of them have children); why he strives to share the emotional connection that video games can create; why gaming is part of the world of art through storytelling and visual design; why the character of Marcus Holloway made such a personal connection for Jeremy; the disheartening realization that nerds can be some of the most racist and misogynistic people in society; the experience of one young black man in America; how gaming holds a mirror up to our society, and why he cofounded the website GroundPunch.
