In Episode 2 of the Geek Fit Podcast, I interview my wife, Jemma, about her gaming journey. We chat about her first memories of gaming, the consoles and games she grew up with, and how gaming has evolved in our relationship. From Spyro on the PS1 to modern co-op games like It Takes Two, we discuss how we game now—sometimes together, sometimes separately—and what draws us to different types of games. Join us for a fun and personal conversation about gaming from childhood to the present day.
I’d also love to hear your own gaming stories—tag me on Instagram or send a message with your favourite gaming memories.
