## Resource

For episode 285, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. We recorded this episode last week, due to my vacation and Myles' show, so it's not the timeliest of topics, but we still have some good stuff. There's some chatter about the new Faces of Death film (reviewed by yours truly here ), though the bulk of our time is spent on Hideo Kojima , the legendary video game designer. We teased a periodic "Kojima Korner" segment months ago, so here it is, in all its strange glory. Between the Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid franchises, there's a ton to cover. As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 285th one to date (here’s to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab ( here ) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!
