Episode 4 of Hidden Levels from @99pi.org and @wbur.org is now online from Andrew Callaway. It's about "machinima," movies made *inside* video games. It's a podcast, but also...there's a FULLY ANIMATED version, drawing from dozens of games.

The first episode of Hidden Levels is now live on the @99pi.org feed! It's a series about video games we're doing with the @wbur.org show Endless Thread.

Episode 1 - The story of NBA Jam, the most fun (and least accurate) depiction of basketball in gaming. This one's really fun, check it out.
Step back into the ’90s, when dunks broke backboards, catchphrases caught fire, and one arcade game turned every kid into an NBA superstar ⛹️‍♂️⛹️‍♀️

Maybe I’m preaching to the choir on Bluesky, but I’m just so worried about what America looks like without local journalism. Public media was a rare sustainable model for local news and now it’s not. If you’re a listener or just a civic minded person, go to adoptastation.org
Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media
Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.
