Episode 6. It's time to play the game...(Video Game Special)

We’re back! In Episode 6 of Chat at the Castle, Ash and Jordy hit start on a full video game special as they dive deep into their lifelong love of gaming. What are our earliest and best memories of a video game? • From retro consoles to split‑screen chaos, Ash and Jordy rewind the clock to the games that shaped their childhoods. Whether it was button‑mashing with siblings or staying up way too late on school nights, the nostalgia is real. Let us know your earliest gaming memories in the comments! How has gaming evolved throughout our lives? • Born in the early 90s, both hosts have lived through the entire evolution of modern gaming. From chunky cartridges to digital downloads, wired controllers to motion sensors, and pixel art to near‑cinematic realism — they chat about how gaming has changed and what moments defined each era. Console Wars: Xbox vs PlayStation • The age‑old debate continues. Ash and Jordy break down their experiences with both consoles, the exclusives they love, and the moments that made them choose a side. Are you Team Xbox or Team PlayStation? Tell us below! Our 3 favourite games of all time • The big one. Each host reveals their top three games ever — and yes, there are some surprises. Some iconic picks, some emotional picks, and maybe even a controversial one or two. Do you agree with their lists?

Episode 5. What if...?

We're back! In Episode 5 of Chat at the Castle, Ash and Jordy activate their imaginations and answer a handful of "What if?" questions... What if Cosmic Rewind replaced 3 of it's songs? - It's easy (or so it would seem...), 3 songs in and 3 songs out from the soundtrack of Guardians of the Galaxy - Cosmic Rewind. Some fantastic options get thrown out, some not so good...let us know if you agree with their picks, more importantly though let us know your picks in the comments! What if The Avengers came out in the 90's? - With Ash and Jordy both being born in the 90's, they discuss what the cast of The Avengers would look like if it came out during that decade. With so many iconic actors in their prime, there are so many to choose from but we'd love to know what you think about the picks. What if Fantasmic was a film? - This one is more something that Jordy squeezed in because he wants to see it happen, but nevertheless they discuss what it could look like and if it could happen. Ash and Jordy are in agreement that they'd love to see it but we would love to know your thoughts, should it be something that stays in the parks? or should it branch out to the big screen? What if Walt Disney World built a 5th park? - This is something that all Disney Parks fans have been speculating on for years! For the majority of those years, the obvious answer was a Villains Park but with the news that a Villians Land is being built in Magic Kingdom, is this still the route to go? Ash and Jordy discuss what they would love to see and whether they think it's something we'll see in the future. What if Disneyland Paris had a 3rd park? - Perhaps less mentioned than a 5th park at Walt Disney World, but still a topic of discussion amongst Disney Parks fans. Ash and Jordy discuss whether Disneyland Paris should have a 3rd park and if so, what would it be? Head over to our YouTube or Instagram channels to join in the conversation, we'd love to know your opinions on all these questions. Thank you all so much for listening!
