WNW Presents - Pointless Parrot Podcast - Episode 16 - Magical Ranting with Richard Simpson

This is a podcast from EmmZaja, who runs various social media channels, and is highly entertaining. So it made sense for them to completely wreck their perfect run and invite me on for an old man's rant.
Please check out all of the content across their channels.

Joined by The Board Game Snobs, Gaby and Jerry, to kind of have a conversation about Board Games, and end up talking about important Scottish people and maybe board games, actually probably not. If you haven't checked out their show, and want to listen to a show that actually talks about board games, then by all means give them a listen while you consider your search for something that talks about games.

Was lucky to be joined by Jesse Camacho, star of the TV Series 'Less than Kind', and now appearing in the Netflix Series 'Locke and Keye'.
We chat about his career in acting, getting started in the profession, growing up with a family who are now all actors, his voice work, landing the roles in Less than Kind and Locke and Keye, and our controversial opinions on Star Wars.
It was a fun chat, really interesting, and I hope you give it a listen.
