All this, our gaming weeks, and much more round out another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

We take some time at the top of the show to remember a friend that left us far too soon. Unfortunately we weren't the only ones to lose a friend close to us, as the accessibility community lost an important advocate as well. A friend calls into OLR to share memories of the impact had, to further the idea and mission that gaming is for everyone. Although we have some difficult moments at the top of the show, we get into the week's worth of news too, which includes recapping headlines from last week in a game of word association. Our family discussions and our whimsy games are just another part of what makes the Orange Lounge Radio experience unique. Come take a listen on what's powered our long running video game podcast for 22 years and counting!
