In episode 88 we are joined by Pandy. A seller and market reseller, Pandy breaks down the dos and don'ts and the mistakes people make when sourcing the games, and how to collect more efficiently.

We get into some incredibly insightful discussion about the impact gaming can have on our approach to social media, and how it can have a real effect on our experience as kids. As part of this conversation we chat about accessibility and the power we have to command better options across the board for gamers everywhere.

There is also an astoundingly energetic debate about Inverted vs "Normal" controls...

Oh, and he NAILS coaches questions in what I can only describe as a joyous take on the segment.

It's my absolute pleasure to be joined by Rosie Caddick. A gaming industry juggernaut and overwhelmingly joyous lover of all things video games, Rosie chats about her transition from working at the likes of Playstation Access to bringing back her page Professor Juice, and explains how video game media has grown/developed over the last decade or so.

We discuss her gaming journey, her creative process and a whole heap of great topics, none bigger than what lies ahead for her in 2026 and beyond as she hints at her roadmap of upcoming content. We also chat about BuddyGames and why she feels so excited about where that's heading this year.

We geek out over anime, break down industry trends, pick apart false industry narratives and really discuss the minutia of what it takes to work in gaming and media as whole.

She completely nails Coaches Questions and offers an amazing insight seldom heard anywhere else.

What a wonderful, joyous, sunshine-filled human.

We are joined by GameWithZain to discuss whether there is still a need to have multiple streaming platforms and why physical media is more prevalent than ever.

Smashing it with his nostalgia-driven content, Zain is a media fan that showcases his love for entertainment and offers an incredibly professional aesthetic while doing it.

We chat about his channel, why he has a unique opinion on content is created, and a whole host of important gaming topics.... including whether I agree with his Halo Game Rankings...

We also break down insight into what would make us hit the follow button and return regularly to creators and how the goal posts have changed ever so slightly.

And yes, we tackle the Sleeping Dogs debate... ;)

Fabulous episode.

We are joined by one of my favourite content creators. Sweet, wholesome, supportive and simply wonderful, we are chatting with Amelior.

A Tomb Raider streamer and cosplayer, all-around gamer, Amelior treats us to a fantastic discussion on the direction of the series and what are concerns are moving forward.

We talk the best traits of Lara, what makes a game so compelling and what's missing from the series. WE NEED A JONAH GAME.

We also dive into the differences between internet safety currently and why younger people should take more care. A great discussion which sees us bring it back to gaming - why a long running series spanning multiple decades has troubles appealing to new audiences without losing the nostalgia.

I'm so excited to share this episode with you all. Such a lovely creator who deserves far more shine. A shining light herself, go and check out Amelior now.

Gifting us with our longest episode to date, we are joined by the legend himself, Caddicarus.

In this episode we discuss why "content" is not what you think it is, the ebbs and flows that come with an online presence, his journey and what his goals are, and a whole heap more.

This is an episode that puts the spotlight on understand the online space and what the end goal is (if there is or even if there should be one).

Jim shares what excites him, and what makes him shy away with regards to "content" and how his view of content creation has changed.

AI, managing your online presence, his favourite games, his take on my "Coaches Questions"... what an episode.

Jim is also kind enough to share some insight into his personal struggles and how this has formulated his new take on the career, discussion his priorities and how this can change over time.

We are joined today by the tremendous leatgames.

Rob is someone who is letting his nostalgia drive his collecting journey, but controls his destiny a bit more by putting to use his marketing and business background. The perfect blend.

A wonderfully chill and measured person, Rob understands content creation and offers us many nuggets, tips and tricks to grow and tells us how we can best develop our own content - you need to "play the game" in content. We also discuss why you content is pushed out to the public and NOT to your followers initially.

We delve into what makes him tick, where his love for games comes in, and why a life in personal training has set him up perfectly to transition into gaming content creation.

It's also our mission to dissect Gamepass - is it still worth it? can you use a lower tier? should you get rid? check it out.

Finally, a Cayle comparison ...
