An all-new episode of the GamesLifer Podcast is now available and it features one of the hosts of the hugely successful YouTube channel, Outside Xbox.

Former Future journalist, Mike Channell, joins Rik to talk about his move from print to bone fide YouTube presenter, and how he’s keeping the spirit of GamesMaster and 90s gaming TV alive.

Mike also reveals his five “Games of a Lifetime” – the titles that have meant so much to his over the years. There’s some real surprises in there and certainly some heartfelt reasons for choosing them.

So give the extended episode a listen and also check out Mike’s work on Outside Xbox on YouTube. It’s all great stuff.
