Two Wallcasts in less than a month?! What is this sorcery?! It's been fun to throw together a couple of recordings and this one just happened to build itself while enjoying a rainy summer day. Handhelds are the name of the game lately, as you'll discover in this episode! This one is shorter than most, but...c'mon. A second Wallcast!
(1:18) Two episodes this month. For why?
(9:49) Spending (lots) of money on video games, but damn...it's getting expensive!

Recorded while on vacation in the beautiful Okanagan Valley! This episode is recorded on the iPhone and probably not the best quality, so apologies in advance.
Just an opportunity for Wally to sit down while he had a moment and record a quick session to provide an update on things in July 2025.
The second such episode over the course of this series, emanating from all around poolside during a Wally Walliday.
The spring edition of the Wally Wallcast has arrived. Baseball season is also here, which means any available time is slowing to a standstill. BUT! A fresh new episode of the Wallcast is here for your ear holes.
(1:07) An update, as always
(11:08) I miss my friends and content creators, but I get it

At the beginning of June 2021, Wally disappeared. No real rhyme or reason other than to say, "See you soon."
This random episode explains why, in greater detail.
Feeling spry and great! But that hasn't been the case as much lately. Wally provides an update on how pandemic times have led to almost pulling the pin on everything. Thankfully, that wasn't the case after a little bit of time unplugged away from it all. Here's how the show breaks down:
(1:10) Wally shares why the podcast, the videos and all creative content almost went on permanent life support;
(14:18) Emulation...some see it as dirty piracy while others see it as a means to an end, specifically when it comes to video game preservation;
(26:41) "The Only Network For Kids"...how a young Wally discovered a television channel that would leave an everlasting impact, over 35 years later;
