The Blacklist Retrospective w/ SmaK - Episode 26

SmaK invited me to The Blacklist Twitch team in 2013, one of the reasons why I'm still around making stuff today. We go over that legendary community, his growth on Twitch from humble beginnings, his brush with professional esports, and how he's building a career in the present day. Love this guy and I hope you enjoy our conversation.

The great Twitter hack of 2020, Big tech censorship, & ransomware w/ thelaughing man - Episode 25

I met up with thelaughingman (Infosec expert, security researcher, hacker) again to talk about the Twitter hack that happened in July 2020 and what implications this has for those involved. We also talked about big tech censorship, ransomware, and other cybersecurity / Infosec topics. I'm an idiot, but very curious about the world of Infosec. Sources at the bottom of this description.

Ghosted w/ Valion13 Episode 23

Today on emotive I talk with Valion who I've known for many years, but nothing past the surface level. We got deep into his exit from Twitch, his return, and the cycle of taking breaks from streaming and social media, among other things. This episode was recorded in late January 2020, I just haven't released episodes in a few months. Hope you enjoy, and I look forward to releasing more episodes this summer!
