No Cartridge 191 - Why Games? (ft. @scarlettmiracle)
Return guest @scarlettmiracle is the first to respond to Trevor's open prompt: Why Videogames?

It's never a BAD news cycle for this question, but oh boy do the past few weeks make it an extra GOOD one now!!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/no-cartridge-audio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.
