The guests bring tons of passion, but the host’s edit and voiceover work sets this show apart. He periodically zooms out for the context behind each piece of media in expansive and entertaining ways, weaving history with each interview and bringing the moments of formation to life. Love it. The production value is fantastic.
Apple Podcasts5TDaswickUnited States4 months ago - Great fun
This is a lot of fun. Especially when the items / ideas / media that are brought are described in the context of the world around the guest as they discovered them. The episode about The Bard’s Tale is especially resonant as it describes an era when you had to really use your imagination to fill in the blanks with gaming and also the way a kid would discover things and not have every possible angle or concept pushed out via digital platforms
That make discovery really hard for kids in 2026.
Apple Podcasts5_[A.B]_United States5 months ago - Great concept
I love this idea of finding out the shows, films, games and music that informs people’s outlook on life. Christian is a great host and I’ll be looking forward to hearing the next guests that he has in. The music is banging too!
