SPECIAL EPISODE 009: Our established friend, Sam and Sayonara Wild Hearts.

July 24th, 2023

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: SPECIAL EPISODE 009: Our established friend, Sam, and Sayonara Wild Hearts.

ACOFAE welcomes to the podcast a special guest and our known and well-established friend, Sam! Editor Sam works behind-the-scenes each week to make sure the podcast is the best that it can be, but this week he is center-stage and ready to talk about something near and dear to his heart: Sayonara Wild Hearts. Described as a "pop album video game," Sam takes us through a journey that is as beautiful visually as it is emotionally, and as challenging mentally as it is physically (must tap button fast!). Sam edits music into our conversations to really show how impactful something can be and how a stunning message about self empowerment and the journey through grief can be found in the most unexpected places. Oh, and Queen Latifah is in the game too. We did say it's unexpected!
