Episode 5: Terry Minnich

This week's episode of Former EGM Editors: The Podcast... er, I mean, Radd's Basement: Nerd Culture Podcast, features one of the greats of the gaming genre. He's a former EGM editor whose specific focus was video game tricks, codes and strategies. He's also the current co-owner of Pixel Blast Arcade in Lisle, IL, pfft, whatever, no big deal. He's Trickman Terry, A.K.A. Terry Minnich! An expert in all things gaming, (both console and arcade) as well as nerd extraordinaire, we had a "Blast" (get it? see what I did there?) discussing Terry's origins in nerdery, our time at EGM, (we were hired the same day) as well as what it takes to run an arcade. We laughed, we ate way too much pizza and we hope you enjoy what we had to say as much as we enjoyed saying it! Here's Episode 5 of Radd's Basement (which took place in Terry's basement)!

Episode 4: Danyon Carpenter

I'm back with another episode of me talking a lot, and my guest talking a little bit. Radd's Basement Episode 4 is here, and today I'm joined by one of the greats! Former Senior Editor of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine and the technical guru behind Gaming FM's success... My best man, Olaf, A.K.A. Danyon Carpenter! He was nervous about his first podcast, and frankly thought he had nothing interesting to say. I spend 2½ hours proving him wrong, and we had such a great time talking about how we met, gaming, our time at EGM, as well as what it takes to build a video game radio station. Laughter, fun and education ahead! I hope you have as much fun as we did, so please enjoy me and Danyon saying stuff. HMPH!
