Tech Spurt on YouTube is one of the best technology channels around, with close to a million subscribers and thousands of videos looking at the latest phones and gadgets.
It’s also hosted by one of the funniest tech journos in the industry today, Chris Barraclough, and Rik caught up with him for episode 3 of the GamesLifer Podcast.
They chat about how Tech Spurt came about, the journey to get there, and Chris’ five most memorable games – not just the best games, but the ones that have meant the most to him over the years.
Barraclough and Rik have also travelled around the world together to cover the latest technology products, so share a few stories about their adventures too. You can’t help feel there’s more in the tank though, so also look out for a follow-up episode in the future.
Rik Henderson’s GamesLifer Podcast focuses on the great and good of the games industry, as well as those who have been fans of gaming all their lives – hence “gameslifer”. New episodes will be coming in time and are often more than an hour’s worth of chat about retro gaming and the games that shaped the world.
As well as Spotify, the GamesLifer Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, and through RSS.
More episodes of the GamesLifer Podcast are also available to listen to right now. That includes lengthy chats with the hugely influential host of GamesMaster, Dominik Diamond, Alex Verrey (Big Boy Barry of Games World), and the former editor of GameSpot, Guy Cocker.
