Episode 01 - Origin Story

from Character Creator Hosted by Bryen Fabry Dorsam

In the very first episode, Brian tells the story of how he got here and why this podcast was created. It started with him on the couch playing video games and ended all the way in his office recording the show (okay, he didn't move very far, but a lot of stuff happened in between). Along the way, he hears from scientists and gamers and journalists from all over the world, who try to help him answer one big question: Why do video games mean so much to us? Guests: Evan Narcisse, games journalist and writer for Marvel's 'Rise of the Black Panther'; Ahmed Ali Akbar, writer and podcaster for Buzzfeed; and Tom Boellstorff, anthropologist and author of 'Coming of Age in Second Life'.
