80-bit Podsmash is a weekly podcast discussing video game industry and culture and how the medium relates to various other topics. It is hosted by Daniel Grathwol (Penguin) and Daniel Bowen (Termite).
A special bonus episode of Termite's Buzz all about The Game Awards. Termite took a legendary trip across the country to celebrate TBone's 40th Birthday. I discuss the trip, our experience, the people we met, and review The Game Award show itself. I end the show with my favorite announcement and moments in the show!
