I recently had the opportunity to speak with Rich Whitehouse:  Creator of the BigPEmu for the Atari Jaguar, contributor to the Video Game History Foundation and longtime game developer.  There were so many things I wanted to talk to Rich about, but we kept it (mostly) focused around the Jag emulator, as well as his recent (winning!) battle with cancer and his beginnings as a game programmer.  I hope this is the first of many chat's we can have and hope you all enjoy it!

Rich was also recently a guest on the Kraz productions podcast and I wanted to share that as well - If you want more Rich in your life, give this one a listen as well!  https://youtu.be/rUfG2rR6Fno
