At the beginning of June 2021, Wally disappeared. No real rhyme or reason other than to say, "See you soon."

This random episode explains why, in greater detail.

Feeling spry and great! But that hasn't been the case as much lately. Wally provides an update on how pandemic times have led to almost pulling the pin on everything. Thankfully, that wasn't the case after a little bit of time unplugged away from it all. Here's how the show breaks down:

(1:10) Wally shares why the podcast, the videos and all creative content almost went on permanent life support;

(14:18) Emulation...some see it as dirty piracy while others see it as a means to an end, specifically when it comes to video game preservation;

(26:41) "The Only Network For Kids"...how a young Wally discovered a television channel that would leave an everlasting impact, over 35 years later;

(39:45) Quick thoughts of a diluted mind!
