Years of Fun is a podcast series from FuturLab focusing on the ups and downs of running a business in video games; shared knowledge bordering on therapy.
Amrit Birdi is a supremely talented comic artist working with the likes of Disney, Netflix, SquareEnix, Warner Bros., Ubisoft, Adobe, Universal, Bandai/Namco, Titan Comics and best of all: FuturLab!
After successfully completing a comic together, we treat this podcast as a two-way AMA, since we're interested in each other's industry and keen to work together again in future.
