This episode of Matt Talks Media stitches together sports culture, retro gaming tech, and legendary creatures into one beautifully strange conversation.

Dr. Nolan Meditz explores the history of fan scarves, especially in soccer and hockey cultures. From stadium identity to ritual and belonging, we look at how a simple piece of fabric became a powerful symbol of loyalty and community.

Steven Doughty dives into the world of video game emulators—what they are, how they work, and why they matter for preservation, access, and gaming history.

Dr. Matt Dorr rounds things out with a look at NOBRO, a Bigfoot research organization based in Oklahoma. We talk regional cryptid lore, grassroots research communities, and why Bigfoot refuses to step out of the cultural imagination.
