With co-host Kelsey Lewin leaving the Video Game History Foundation, we will be putting the show on pause for the rest of the year. We want to thank Kelsey for everything she’s given to this show, to VGHF, and to our team and we all wish her great success in her future endeavors. As for the Video Game History Hour, we’ve decided to take the rest of the year to refresh, rethink, and redefine what this show looks like. You might still hear from us occasionally throughout the rest of 2023, but we will be taking a break from the regularly scheduled content. When we return in early 2024, we’re confident the format of the show will still be every bit as wonderful as what you’ve all come to know and love if not even better. In the meantime, if you’re planning to attend Portland Retro Gaming Expo this weekend, please stop by our museum and say hello!
