DrunkFriend

Have you ever wondered how YouTube sausage gets made? DrunkFriend (not a dating app) aims to learn how different YouTubers in the retro-gaming space deal with the ups and downs of maintaining successful channels. Learn about their inspirations and influences to getting started, their philosophies on creating content, and their processes for video production. There will be plenty of fun stories along the way! Hosts Alex (SNESdrunk) and Trav (NESfriend) come together, along with the occasional featured guest, to answer listener questions, share the YouTubiest of YouTube comments, and find out how everyone else deals with this hobby.
