My name is Eoghan Walsh, and this is the Brussels Beer City Podcast.
My guest on today’s episode is My guest on today’s episode is Joost Vandecasteele. Joost is a hard man to pin down, as you’ll hear. A comedian, writer, playwright, activist and now video game developer, Joost takes me to his safe space in Anderlecht.
Over a coffee and a kriek, we have a freewheeling conversation that touches on being a radical softie, Brussels as a masculine city and why it’s like Los Angeles, by way of Qanon, William Gibson and JG Ballard.
Joost’s latest project, The Almost Gone - a puzzle video game - is available now on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and on the Google and Apple app stores.
Quick note for context, this episode was recorded before the Covid-19 lockdown in Brussels and the global anti-racist movement that has emerged in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.
