Welcome to the Video Grandpa Podcast! Every week, Ty Root and I will be discussing what we care about in the worlds of tech, video production, gaming, and beer. We’ll be bringing on special guests and probably swearing a lot. This is our first run at podcasting – it’ll get smoother as time goes on.

This is our first run at podcasting – it’ll get smoother as time goes on, with some music cues and such. But we have to start somewhere, so this is that somewhere.
