So Kirsty and Jason from NGP joined in with the chat and so did our very new contributor/member of the Squeam Team: Dyl Adler from Generation Next! The segment is called DylSTICK and it’s all about the “Joy of Video Games ” with his news, views and reviews.

Dyl’s BIO:

Dylan Adler is the host and producer of the news and youth affairs program Generation Next, he’s also put his hand up on a number of occasions to host some of Joy’s popular music programs like Little Fish and The ShaPow Show. If there is one thing Dyl loves as much as music it’s getting lost in a video game especially when the mercury starts to drop, that kid has demonstrated time and time again how he can survive a winter in his man cave with cold take out and flat energy drinks.
