Big fan of this episode! This was a great insightful chat with @jondenton.bsky.social and also conjured lots of nice memories from when I was working as a PR at the start of my career. Great podcast!

Probably not, because it might be a bit niche for 6 months' worth of paywalled content. A separate pod on the show is a pipe dream of ours, though!

November marks my 20th year on the magazine. I think that deserves a self-congratulatory pat on the back.
For every like this receives I'll try and recall one anecdote (interesting or otherwise) about my time on the mag.

One of my favourite BPP episodes ever, I reckon. Plenty of new Giant Men lore, two great lists and an increasingly unhinged third hour. Even the outro is funny.

New episode! The best games of 2017. A great year for games, but a challenging year for Matthew Castle. It's almost three hours long. Sorry!

New Patreon episode! Two Giant Men Watch Mad Men Season 1. If you think that sounds too niche, the first hour is mostly spoiler-free and pretty general. We also debate whether we could both beat Timothy Olyphant in a fight.

Very weird being at the Nottingham Gaming Market and seeing magazine cover discs you recorded footage and wrote copy for being sold.

Excited to have heard myself mentioned in the latest episode of @backpagepod.bsky.social, thus securing my place in the canon of UK video games journalism as “guy who was excited about the announcement of Metroid Prime 4 at E3 2017”

Another corker. The recent super-high quality of this podcast is getting tiring, frankly. Good stuff! ❤️

I aged a million years in 2017, but the games were good.
