From Food Network to Fortnite: The Nostalgic Journey of Cartridge and Quest Wichita Life bonus

In this special episode, AverageTrav and FoodieMikeC of the Cartridge and Quest podcast sit down with Landon from Wichita Life for a deep dive into their origin story. The guys pull back the curtain on the technical difficulties of podcasting (including losing an entire episode!), their personal journeys, and their shared passion for 80s and 90s nostalgia. FoodieMikeC recounts his incredible path from a disabled veteran to a Food Network-featured chef, cooking for the Kansas City Chiefs and international music acts. Meanwhile, AverageTrav shares his roots as a West-side Wichita native and the IT expertise he brings to the show.They discuss how the podcast evolved from a niche retro gaming idea into a celebration of their generation—the last to grow up without the internet. The conversation covers everything from their earliest gaming memories of the NES and the impossible underwater level in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to their upcoming 40th-anniversary Back to the Future block party in Wellington, complete with a DeLorean, a DJ, and a beer garden. The episode is packed with hilarious anecdotes, heartfelt reflections on growing up in the Wichita area, and the wild story of how a chance encounter with Dante Hall led to their very first episode.
