Champion The Gamer

Forging an incredible career in content spanning across the likes of Whatculture, Playstation Access and more, Ash is a trailblazer and a leading force in the industry.

Someone I've admired for years for her work in gaming it was amazing to have the chance to sit down and discuss her journey, have her speak on her views of the current gaming landscape, and get in inside look at the industry.

We get into her love of horror and how that's shaped her journey. We discuss the importance of gaming in the mainstream, and I learn what it is that drives her forward.

We join forces on our adoration for The Faculty, share why we think story-driven games are the future and have an all-around extensive gaming chat.

Plus she gives an incredible idea for what gaming is missing, and what she wants to do in the future.

Super fun, super insightful, and one you DEFINITELY don't want to miss.

It my immense joy to bring you my chat with the incredible 8-Bit Bonello.

A powerhouse creator across multiple platforms, Antonia is the gold standard and to hear her insight into the gaming industry as a career is amazing.

We get into her journey from graphic design at University, to designing her own video game, and using her marketing skills to understand how to make engaging content. She also offers invaluable insight into how you can develop a tangible career. Everything in between that and where she is now; a leading content creator, quiz master, and someone with the desire to build a positive and educational space within gaming content on the whole.

I learn about her gaming history, how she games on a day-to-day basis, and the goals she has as she grows and develops.

We offer a deep dive discussion on where we feel content creation is right now and the plus vs minus of the field, and Antonia shares advice in how to overcome the potential pitfalls.

This was a blessing and a conversation you definitely don't want to miss.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy listening to someone who earnestly loves what he does.

NintendoUnits proudly hails from Sweden and he celebrates his culture and it's take on video games in this tremendous listen.

He chats his love for Nintendo, his over 22 units and all that comes with a love for gaming.

You will be hard-pressed to find someone who talks as passionately as he does!

We get into using flea markets, how to trade online and the importance of managing both your money and your time.

It is my honour, privilege and tremendous pleasure to share my chat with Rachel, otherwise known as IdontRachQuit. I'm proud of this one.

A content creation guru, and someone who epitomises the notion that loving what you do is important, I have followed Rachel for nearly a decade and admired her content always.

The most positive person who radiates warmth and inclusivity, Rach is a twitch partner with a background in game retail, streaming, content creation and media. Little did she know the impact she had on me in terms of my content journey and taking the plunge.

We get into her current projects, her history from working in Game, heading into Whatculture and all the amazing things she is achieving now as she blazes her own trail.

She offers some wonderful advice for parent gamers, and for those wanting to get into content creation generally, and it's invaluable to hear.

We welcome the delightful Saint Michelle to the podcast to chat all things gaming.

We discuss her love for Tomb Raider and what the character means to her, but also the troubling variations on the character that we've seen and how we'd like to have the original back.

Michelle gives an incredible insight into how she manages her time being a mother and gaming/streaming at the rate she does, and how games can be a positive outlet when the right balance is struck.

She also lets us know how it's important to learn about the pros and cons of streaming, and how getting brand deals and the like can help and hinder your growth.

I offer the opinion that the new Tomb Raider movies are better, we discuss how gaming has changed, I ask her about content creation on the whole, and a host of other fun things.

Super fun chat and if you're not already, check out Saint Michelle on tiktok and her other platforms now.

Pure chaos bottled into one smashing episode where we discuss everything from terrible movies that are great, to just how badly we think the Switch 2 is handling it's business.

I put their skills to the test in a Coaches Quiz, we discuss what's on our mind and what we are playing, and the two of them answer questions that you wonderful people sent in.

Both of these wonderful people have incredible content and celebrate the history of gaming, and it's a joy to bring you them together in one amazing episode.

Who would they cosplay as if they went together? Find out by listening now.

SO. MUCH. LAUGHTER.

In this joyous and banterful episode, I get to chat with the tremendous Game Matter.

We have a wonderful time dissecting how we continue to manage our journey's within content creation, his goals and ambitions and what spurred him on to start.

We get into a thrilling hot takes and solid debates and he commend's my question skills during Coaches Questions.

I love this lad - an easy going creator who strives to bring happiness and together through the medium of games, and someone that seeks out the good in people.

You will love this episode.

In this raw, uncut and AWESOME episode, I get to chat with Crystal Fey.

A stay at home mum with a passion for gaming and streaming, Crystal is breaking new ground for those who feel overwhelmed when starting a family and navigating the online space.

I made the decision to not edit this interview - in that I didn't cut out the minor breaks in the moments she tends to her little one - because I want everyone to witness her ability to juggle multiple things at once. She is incredible and I can't wait for some of you to meet her through this.

We tackle the games that kids should be exposed to, her journey from IT to gaming content creation, and whether or not she's a voice for SAHM's everywhere.

She gives a wonderful sales pitch for why Final Fantasy 10 is arguably the greatest game ever made.. and also poses an interesting way to play it.

Such a joy, enjoy this episode.

In this incredibly special (50th!!!) Episode of Champion The Gamer we are joined by my wonderful wife, the love of my life, the one who puts up with my nonsense, Jemma.

She grills me on my gaming knowledge and opinions in a special edition of Coaches Question, put's me through my paces by asking me questions sent in by you all, and we discuss how she finds living with a gamer.

We tackle the perception of gaming from the outside, how this can be helped and what people who don't get involved in gaming can misunderstand about it all.

We have a hard discussion on the sustainability of building a collection of games, how people can manage their money and what people should look out for as they explore gaming as a whole.

We also chat about the importance of supporting one another and how balancing/managing time is key in relationships and how this is possible.

This was the most fun I've had, naturally!
