TalkRadar Presents: It's A Terrible Life

The Content

Yes, friends, it's time once again to listen to another hastily assembled, amateurishly acted holiday special in lieu of an actual podcast! For the second year in a row, the TalkRadar Theatre Troupe invite you to listen patiently as we put our own spin on another Christmas classic, the 1946 Jimmy Stewart vehicle It's A Wonderful Life. What would the world have been like if Mikel had never started writing about videogames? The answers to this and other questions await you within.

Mikel Reparaz
After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
