In the interim between seasons I thought it would be fun to explore some of the themes that snuck up on me a bit while I was editing Season 2. For this week, I kept noticing how many conversations circled back to family — not as a footnote, but as the actual reason a lot of these folks are doing this job at all. So here's a short collection of some of my favorite moments on that theme, look out for more soon!
Highlights:
- Leyla Lacombe on how her dad's love of tech became her love of games — and how the teaching has since reversed
- Brandon Van Haren on the brother who started it all, the arcade dad, and the levels he used to draw for his mum
- Nathan Kellman on parents who said yes to everything, and the moment he finally showed them the Diablo IV credits
- Luke Shingleton on a grandfather who never quite mastered a controller, and what living away from home in Ireland taught him about family
Give it a listen and let me know whose story hit closest to home for you.
