  • What Does Your Backlog Mean To You? (with Cody Bolster)

    On the very first episode of The Checkpoint, Cj is joined by his good friend and fellow podcaster, Cody Bolster. The two catch up on what it means to record another podcast after being away from the mic for ages, as well as the challenges that present themselves when trying to create content.

    They dive into a wide range of topics, such as:

    -Science fiction books

    -How burnout can affect the way we play games

    -Why our backlogs should be celebrated, rather than feared
