Episode 429: Joey Vogt talks Game of Thrones, Hiking, Video Games, and Twitch streaming

Twitch streamer Joey Vogt joins me from the great, untapped land that is Ohio for this latest episode of the podcast. Joey and I are both part of the Hyrule Gaming Group stream team, so I've had the pleasure of watching his Twitch streams and get to know him a bit more. Now, he gets to join me and share what he loves. We kick things off by talking about Game of Thrones. This show was not in Joey's wheelhouse to start with, as he wasn't so much a fantasy fan. That show changed his mind. We talk about the show - from storylines to favorite houses and characters, and why it kept him coming back for more. Joey also talks about how Game of Thrones opened him up to being interested in more fantasy media and even getting into history and mythology of the medieval time period. Our newest topic on the podcast is hiking! It's an unlikely one, but I do love getting to share what people love and enjoy. Joey talks about who got him interested in hiking and the great outdoors. We talk about some of the places that Joey and his partner have hiked, the experiences he's had in San Francisco, a hiking intersection with a popular fandom, and more. Then the back half of the episode, we talk about video games and Twitch streaming. Joey talks about how he got into video games when he was younger, including having owned a Virtual Boy back in the day. We talk about some of his favorites then and now, and what he looks for in games. Joey also talks about his decision to stream on Twitch. From his early days to the point where he thought about hanging up his controller. We talk about the community that he has fostered, the games you can find on his stream, and much more.
