Episode 470: Ten Year Anniversary Special with Joshua aka HylianDescent of Hyrule Gaming Group

Joshua aka HylianDescent of Hyrule Gaming Group returns for his 6th episode as guest host for our 10 Year Anniversary Special. I join him as the guest, as we get into the 10 years of Tales from the Fandom.

We talk about the eras of the podcast, from its early episodes to its COVID years, along with some memorable guests. We both talk about how much work content creation is, and the behind the scenes of the podcast (and my continued dislike of editing).

One of the big things is a discussion about my personal cornerstones/pillars of fandom that I'll always come back to - even if I'm not in them as much as other creators (hello Lord of the Rings creators, you all rock!) We also talk about some fandoms that surprised me, and he asks me a hard hitting question to round things out.

On the tail end, I resume host mode and ask Hylian about two of his most recently played games (at the time of recording), Solarpunk, and Pokemon Pokopia. I also find out some future games that he's interested in playing off stream.
