I spontaneously started a Pokemon Collector Podcast tonight at the end of my twitch stream and it somehow turned out really great…or at least I hope it did. I posted it on YouTube already, here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYGIVX9lhxwEpisode 1: Enlightened Bulbasaur
Considering how much I enjoyed talking with @hyruleguardian for the first time and how well it went, I would like to continue doing this. I will be using this thread, Discord, and my instagram (@stibs ) to give everyone a heads up on when the next episodes will be happening. Either live on my twitch (Twitch) and/or when I post on YouTube (@stibs ). How many more plugs can I fit in for my social media…
This first episode was a completely organic and spontaneous conversation about Enlightened Bulbasaurs origins with Pokemon Collecting as a kid in 1999, the enlightment of graded cards in 2009, and the Pokemon boom in 2016. We also discussed our opinion on many topics within the current and future market of Pokemon card collecting.
Who will be my next guest?!
Thank you guys for the love and support. Looking forward to doing some more of this.
P.S. I will not have any set schedule at this time. Again, this was completely spontaneous and happened worked out. Until I can schedule a few guests for future episodes, I will randomly reach out through a variety of platforms in efforts to reach the community that is interested.
Episode 2 will be live on twitch (Twitch) tonight at 7pm PST with special guest @swolepoke !
Get to know swolepoke about his humble beginnings with Pokemon in 1999, what brought him back, and what he collects now.
Will upload to youtube (and here) after if you are not available to make it.
I’ve been listening to the first four episodes on Spotify over the holidays and I’ve really enjoyed them all! Looking forward to listening to episode 5, I’ll put it on whilst I’m working from home tomorrow.
Love the content and the quality, really interesting stuff! Keep it up!
Finally managed to catch up on all the podcasts (except ZandGEmporium’s because the audio was just too distorted on that one unfortunately) and they were honestly very enjoyable!
If you could, I’d appreciate it if you could turn up the volume a slight bit. I’m listening through Spotify in my car and I am literally turning the volume all the way up in order to listen. If I get a message on my phone during that time it always scares the hell out of me because it’s so loud.
I know you probably have many guests lined up/in mind, but here are some people I’d like to hear from (if you know of any):
Error collectors (would love to hear opinons on OC, MC, and other pokemon-exclusive errors)
Collectors that focus on a specific pokemon (always interesting to hear from the niche of the niche)
Owners of brick-and-mortar TCG/hobby shops (get some insight on running a physical storefront vs. virtual only)
Trophy collectors (I feel like these people always have great stories!)
