    Episode 8 - Figuring Out The (Postponed) PS5 Reveal - Figuring it Out

    This week Nick and Cian talk about their predictions for the now postponed PlayStation 5 Gameplay reveal event. Other stuff's talked about too, but to pivot to first person for a hot second, we'd like to use this episode description to point you to some stuff that's waaaay more important. Racism is alive and well (seriously, it never left), and the continuing trends of Police violence in America is just one of many vectors upon which racism rears its hideous, hideous head. This podcast is hosted by two white dudes, and while we're not (and never will be) experts on the Black experience in America, we want to support the fight against racism in any way we can. Here are some resources we've leveraged to help, and that you can use too: Black Lives Matter Resources: https://blacklivesmatter.com/resources/ Black Lives Matter Donation Page: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019 Tellery Co.
