About this episode
Noah Chrysler interviews Nathan Grant about the upcoming Retro Game Con Spring Edition and its unique features.
Retro Game Con Spring Edition Goes Two Days: Guests, Free Play, Vendors, and Charity Host Noah Chrysler interviews Nathan Grant, an event coordinator for Retro Game Con, about Retro Game Con Spring Edition on May 16–17, its first two-day run and how it differs from the larger fall event. Saturday-only tickets are sold out; Sunday tickets remain available at retrogamecon.com , along with schedules and guest pricing. Grant explains the event’s evolution from a post-pandemic partnership with the Museum of Science and Technology, a brief “Retro Game Con Jr.” phase, and growth leading to expanded programming at the Oncenter. He announces four voice-acting guests: Alicia Gladwell (Portal), Kevin Miller (Sly Cooper), Kenny James (Bowser), and Daisuke Tsuji (Ghost of Tsushima’s Jin; Mortal Kombat 1’s Scorpion). The episode highlights free-play retro hardware, panels, vendors and artists, and raffles benefiting Extra Life and Upstate Golisano via Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, plus RetroGameCon social channels and Discord. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:48 Dates and Tickets 01:59 Why Spring Edition Exists 05:48 Meet the Special Guests 10:21 Panels and Fan Moments 11:14 Free…
