Latest episode of the podcast, and this week was a bit emotional for me (you may notice I get a bit overexcited at times during the episode). My guest, Wil Brown and I haven’t spoken in over 20 years, except for on the phone once or twice. And, I hadn’t seen his face in almost 25 years! He’s a HUGE reason why I was a big PlayStation fan back in the day, and still am.
