90: LAX 2020 Livestream–Saturday March 7
2 hr 24 min listenWith continued unrest all around us and uncertainty at almost every corner, there are two things that we can count on to make the world a smaller (and better) place - our children and inclusivity. Both of those themes are front-and-center in this episode as we spend some good time listening to the “kids of the show” (Grace Roberts & Gareth Milwood) as they continue to grow up (way too fast, btw) and we get some fantastic insight from Elizabeth Gieske into women in pinball with a heavy focus on competitive play and how inclusive the hobby is and what works well and what could still use improvement. We’re also visited by friends of the show David Corrigan and Dan DeBusschere as they sat in with us to talk gaming and their current projects. A good time was had by all. It’s our hopes that if you weren’t able to join the live broadcast (or if you want to re-listen) then this (and the previous Friday livestream show at ep. 89) will bring some cheer to your shelter-in-place regiment – whatever that may look like. Wherever you are in the world – we thank you for listening and hope that you and your family are safe and continue to be in good health. Enjoy the show!
