Episode 0 - Intro

Episode 0 - Intro

A start to a podcast about sharing info between generations. I (the kid, Brian, since I'm the one uploading the episodes) have a ton of knowledge for a couple subjects, gaming being one of them. My mom and I like talking about our hobbies, but gaming is a bit of a dense subject, and she sometimes doesn't understand a single word that comes out of my mouth. She's willing to learn about it, and we both know that there's plenty of people who similarly don't understand their gamer buddies, so she thought that we could broadcast our usual chats about gaming for others to enjoy and learn from.
