Sammus the Rapper came through to talk about her music, being a black nerdy girl, the importance of representation in games & in other media. We had a wonderful, candid and amazing conversation to help celebrate our one year mark.

1 Year Anniversary notes from our listeners

@krageinsf /Juls:

Hello Tanya and David.

I just wanted to send a note about how much I love your show and how

much it means to me, as someone who is NOT a gamer. I don't play many

of the games you talk about, but I started listening because of the

INeedDiverseGames.

The content of your show is just superb. As a teacher, I am always

looking for other sources of information to strengthen and improve my

teaching/presentations. The wealth of knowledge shared by you (as

hosts), your guests, and the other listeners of the show is amazing. I

feel so lucky to have stumbled onto your podcast and listen in

exchange for a few donations when I can scrape together the cash. (To

other listeners, if you are able, PLEASE PLEASE DONATE!).

Although I am not a gamer, your show has helped me learn about pros,

cons, and meh about some of the games my sister and her partner do

play. There is a really great balance of enough detail that I can

follow along when I watch her play, but not so overwhelming that I'm

completely shut out of the discussion.

Thank you so much for your show.

Best, Juls

I truly loved both times I got to be on Fresh Out of Tokens. I was a

little nervous when I found out the episode with David and Andrew

would be a free discussion, since that was my first time on any

podcast, but we had a really fantastic conversation, and the Star Trek

discussion we had was great fun.

Coming back to guest host the interview with BioFanOfficial was even

more fun. Sharing all the Bioware feels was just fantastic, and I love

that Tanya brings Bioware love up so much in the show in general.

I love the work y'all are doing, and getting to be a small part of it

was a tremendous honor (and an absolute blast). Any time y'all need

an emergency guest host, just say the word.
