Meet DOUG
COMMUNITY MANAGER
Hi, I’m Doug. Pemmican enthusiast, otter whisperer and all round bon vivant, I’ve worn a bunch of hats during my 30 years in the game industry. Like Aaron, also a big fan of voice acting. I’ve worked with these two fellows for a long time and have enjoyed every bit of it. Excited to help bring some deep cuts from videogame history to the light of day!
Meet ULYSSES
RESEARCHER
Hi, I'm Professor Ulysses Markwell. I'm an extraterrestrial anthropologist who is often called in to analyze data from SETI searches, mysterious artifacts and other unexplained phenomena. I also teach periodic courses at Columbo University.
My client list includes the CIA, The Iceland Institute for Introspection and Conagrow. My work sometimes attracts the attention of outside groups who are interested in my research, and there's a community of fans at The Third Curtain who follow my work. You can learn more here.

Meet bryen
audio
Hello, I’m Bryen. Been working in audio in one way or another for 32 years or so. I work on a lot of films, television, and games of course. Started working with Bungie all the way back in 1999 on Oni, and still work with them today on Destiny. Alex and Aaron's journey through video-game history is a delight to be a part of.
Meet MAY
PRODUCER
Hello! I'm May, currently a producer for various indie games and this podcast! I've always enjoyed learning about the scrappy, gritty behind-the-scenes details of the games I love. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to pursue a career in games myself! I am thrilled to be part of this team, delivering exclusive insights from notable innovators in the games industry and inspiring listeners to embark on journeys themselves. I also love cats, tea, and boardgames
