“Hello everyone, welcome to the Emerald Cast Podcast. I'm your host Zander and I'm here with...” This is how I have started (at the time of writing this) thirty episodes of a podcast I have been recording since late 2019. The premise of the podcast is just three friends talking about their lives, video games, and whatever is going on in the world. It might sound like it's just a bunch of nerds who want to share their pop culture knowledge, but instead it represents the long friendship between the three of us and an excuse to talk almost every week.
