My guest this episode is Ty Galiz-Rowe, the founder and editor in chief of the website Uppercut Crit. Uppercut is, quite easily, one of the coolest and best sites in video games right now, going the extra mile to amplify diverse writers and writing, and advocate for freelancers and making sure they get paid.

I've kind of looked up to Ty for a while, and really admire the way they use their platform to fight for the things they believe in this industry. It was an honor to sit down and chat for a while about where Uppercut came from, why diversity in the game press is so important (and why a lot of sites are dropping the ball in that regard) and what's next for the site.
