This week, we welcome guest RyanFTW to Tiny Island Diary. Ryan is a popular host of both a Twitch TV channel and a YouTube Channel and is known for his laid-back and family-friendly Animal Crossing: New Horizons content. As an early-morning player myself, it's especially soothing to watch videos where the 5 a.m. music and morning routine are familiar!


In this episode, Ryan and I discuss pretty much every aspect of his widely viewed villager hunt videos, dissect how valuable ACNH is for the mental health of grown-ups around the world, and hear a tip for how to handle all the DIY recipe cards that clutter up a section of my beach and cause Isabelle chronic heartburn. And I finally get to share my fictional, ill-fated, in-game romance with Pascal, who's destined to swim only alongside me, separated by a socially distant fence after our daily interaction. ("Feel this...")


You can hear very clearly in our discussion Ryan's commitment to his viewers, and how dedicated he is to serving up fresh and fun content and sharing so much of his tiny island. The villager hunt video that sparked the many questions I asked in this podcast episode is Hunting For The RAREST Villagers on YouTube, though Ryan has chronicled two more villager hunts since (he streamed a villager hunt just hours before our podcast recording!).
