My passions lies both with conference talks and podcasts. Hence, I have not only attended multiple scientific conferences as a speaker, but can also be heard regularly on various podcasts.
My recurring podcast projects include the German retro games podcast Stay Forever, where I oversee and host the series “Die Welt von…” (“The Lore of…”), as well as Lovecraft podcast dLG-Radio, where I am one of two executive editors and regularly record episodes myself.
