People Make Things

Us vs. Them

I have a bit of a think about how the world asks us to divide ourselves. Yeah, I am still thinking Iran - but in my defense, I recorded this 2 weeks ago. All still very relavant. I promise, near the end, I talk games, entertainment, and culture... but the beginning is a bit political.

Chris Goes to Iran (Part 1)

I travel to the Tehran Game Convention in Iran, as a guest of the Iranian government. I have a lot to say about the trip, and share some travel stories and thoughts about Iran. I don't talk much about games or the convention, but I have more of that coming up in other interviews and stuff.

Tolerance

I'm working through a bunch of things after my trip to Iran, including the viewpoint of other on my decision to travel to Iran, and while I am sorthng through my more concrete thoughts on that specific trip... I needed to get this out there. It's not about games, its not really about entertainment, but its some stuff I am working through, and perhaps it's interesting.

Big Nepal Special w/ Jwalant Gurung (Crystal Mountain Travel)

This is a very different episode - I'm talking about my trip to Nepal, and my involvement in the 3 Summits for Nepal charity. Then I chat at length about Nepal and 3 Summits for Nepal with local Nepali entrepreneur Jwalant Gurung, owner of Crystal Mountain Treks, and founder of 2 Summits for Nepal. This is something very near and dear to me, and a bit of a departure from my usual rants about video games and whatnot - I hope you'll indulge me.

Immigration

I have a very frank and rather foul-mouthed rant about whats happening around the world concerning immigration and race relations, and how it affects the entertainment industry.

IBS & Secret Pain

We're going out on a limb a bit in this episode. I talk at length about my colon, the pain of IBS, and wonder who else out there is dealing with pain they can't talk about in polite company. 

Productivity & Art

I have a serious think about the whole purpose of this podcast, productivity, and how it relates to entertainment. 

Failure, Creation, and Social Media

I get all mellow and talk about my failures. then I hate it, delete it, and do it again. Because I am meta like that.
