Hey everyone! I was recently on the start of a brand new podcast called The Checkpoint. The creator of the podcast has been a good friend of mine for many years. He has done podcasting in the past, as well as writing game reviews and the like. This is the YouTube version of the podcast with some gameplay in the background. It was pretty fun getting back on the mic and doing something creative like this. Felt a little bit of a creative stir inside myself while doing it, so maybe I can get this blog rolling a bit more in the future.
On the very first episode of The Checkpoint, Cj is joined by his good friend and fellow podcaster, Cody Bolster. The two catch up on what it means to record another podcast after being away from the mic for ages, as well as the challenges that present themselves when trying to create content.
They dive into a wide range of topics, such as:
-Science fiction books
-How burnout can affect the way we play games
-Why our backlogs should be celebrated, rather than feared
