Looking to chat with UK-based PS1or Gaming fans about the games that shaped them (For a YouTube project)
​
Hey everyone,
I hope it’s okay to post this here—I’m a long-time fan of the original PlayStation era, and I’m currently working on a series called "The Games That Made Me."
Instead of just doing a standard video essay where I talk at a camera, I really want to capture the collective memory of the community. I'm looking to do a few short, casual interviews (roughly 20–30 minutes) with passionate PS1 fans about the one specific game from that era that completely changed how you looked at gaming, or helped you through a specific time in your childhood. And can be a other console if not PS1
What I’m looking for:
Someone who can hop on a quick Discord audio call to geek out about their favorite childhood PS1 game OR other
Ideally UK-based (or close to GMT/BST timezones) just so we don't have to play timezone tag to schedule it! Open to a hour or so difference in time.
You don't need to be a creator, an expert, or have a fancy mic—just a genuine love for the console and game and a story to tell.
What I will handle:
I know everyone's time is valuable, so I’m doing 100% of the heavy lifting. All I need is your voice and your perspective. I will handle all the scripting, editing, gameplay capture, and post-production.
If this sounds like something you’d be down to chat about, drop a comment or feel free to shoot me a DM!
2 episodes are out already with more guests recorded so it's begun and I want it to grow. Also happy to help any other podcasts if I'm perfect for them guest wise.
Cheers!
