Overview

Perennial millennial Sooz Kempner takes us on a journey through the six decade history of video games. And there’s absolutely no way it gets serious or political, how could it, it’s video games! Definitely no way they could reflect wider issues ha ha. Just silly stuff. “Crash Bandicoot taught me it was ok to be weird” - Sooz Kempner.
