A2Z PodcastGonzalo Alvarez - Designer of 'Borders' video game and 'The Legend of PoGonzalo has led an interesting life since 2016. At the height of election season the increased attention on illegal immigration struck him kinda funny, seeing as he's the son of one of those folks, and he wanted to make a statement. That statement was a video game called 'Borders' which landed him in the national spotlight and inadvertently landed him a book deal for his graphic novel 'The Legend of Polloman: A Mexican Folklore Adventure'.

A2Z PodcastEp004: Josh Briggs - Army Combat VeteranJosh Briggs is another good friend of the show. He's actually our guest from Episode Three, Caitlin Lydic's main squeeze. Josh joined the Army in 2003 at the height of the War on Terror. He had seen some shit and lost a lot of friends. It's no wonder that he, like many many other soldiers during that time eventually developed PTSD. Poor mental health and an inadequate VA then led to drug-use and temporary homelessness. These are some of the topics we speak on in this episode. We're quick to characterize this as a "bummer" episode...
