Beards, Cats, And Indie Game Audio EP 68 - Elise Kates

I had been trying to line this one up for awhile and it was a great fun chat to finally have. And we went long! I hope you enjoy this fun talk I had with Elise Kates, a good game audio friend from down in Seattle.As a note, I have adopted the new schedule of "when it happens" for episodes of the podcast. When I can line something up and I've got time, there will be an episode. When I'm busy, there won't. Always searching for that balance with all that I take on and have life throw at me.

It's a month late cause I got the worst flu ever but it's finally here! I had a great conversation with Mark Kilborn where we talked about classic sounds and retro games amongst other things.As well, this will be the final episode for this year. I need a bit of a break so going to take a bit of time off. Going forward, I'm playing on each year being a 9 episode season. I'll be at GameSoundCon again this year, gathering interviews to release next year. I hope you enjoyed this season. See you next year.
