This week on the MC Lars Podcast, pop culture journalist Chris Gates and I talk about our years growing up together on the Monterey Peninsula, our first band together (Horris, for which he played bass) and how being English majors helped us both in our careers as freelance content creators. We also talk about his years as a writer for MAD Magazine, Gates’s perspective on the current classification of video games as an “art “and his foray into the world of indie comics publishing. An amazing conversation with a brilliant dude. Thanks Chris!
