Welcome to a new year of WellPlayed podcasts... In this episode John (@MeehanEDU) and I discuss our bottomless passion for the game Zelda on the NES. We always make sure we are connecting it back to our story as educators. This episode is a great listen for both ideas as well as to get to know us both better. Zelda clearly shaped who we are and how we see the world. It is our hope that it can do the same for you.

Additionally, this is the first podcast that has a video cast that goes with it. Check out youtube.com/mrmatera and look for the wellplayed playlist and start to get to know us even more...
