We celebrated our one year anniversary with Sammusmusic! <3

Fresh out of Tokens

Sammus the Rapper came through to talk about her music, being a black nerdy girl, the importance of representation in games & in other media. We had a wonderful, candid and amazing conversation to help celebrate our one year mark.

TW: Racial slurs used when we discuss an article in the show, so there is a warning at that point, and if you want to fast forward, you should do so for your own comfort.

We have tees, and other items in the #INeedDiverseGames spreadshirt shop. We’re splitting the profits 50/50 with @Chachibobinks. There’s a blog to compliment the show outoftokenscast.com If you have questions, compliments, hate mail feel free to drop a note there as well. You can also @ us on twitter; @OutOfTokensCast or email us [e-mail].

1 Year Anniversary notes from our listeners

@krageinsf /Juls:

Hello Tanya and David.

I just wanted to send a note about how much I love your show and how
much it means to me, as someone who is NOT a gamer. I don't play many
of the games you talk about, but I started listening because of the
INeedDiverseGames.

The content of your show is just superb. As a teacher, I am always
looking for other sources of information to strengthen and improve my
teaching/presentations. The wealth of knowledge shared by you (as
hosts), your guests, and the other listeners of the show is amazing. I
feel so lucky to have stumbled onto your podcast and listen in
exchange for a few donations when I can scrape together the cash. (To
other listeners, if you are able, PLEASE PLEASE DONATE!).

Although I am not a gamer, your show has helped me learn about pros,
cons, and meh about some of the games my sister and her partner do
play. There is a really great balance of enough detail that I can
follow along when I watch her play, but not so overwhelming that I'm
completely shut out of the discussion.

Thank you so much for your show.

Best, Juls

I truly loved both times I got to be on Fresh Out of Tokens. I was a
little nervous when I found out the episode with David and Andrew
would be a free discussion, since that was my first time on any
podcast, but we had a really fantastic conversation, and the Star Trek
discussion we had was great fun.

Coming back to guest host the interview with BioFanOfficial was even
more fun. Sharing all the Bioware feels was just fantastic, and I love
that Tanya brings Bioware love up so much in the show in general.

I love the work y'all are doing, and getting to be a small part of it
was a tremendous honor (and an absolute blast). Any time y'all need
an emergency guest host, just say the word.
