Vic gets to release what television could never afford him - long form interviews with people from all over the gaming and entertainment industries. Instead of a couple snippets ending up in a published article, you get the full interview with all the depth and nuance that comes with it. Vic is so well connected it can be surprising who he has on!

Let’s keep it going!
