56 Greg Miller Decided to Become a Video Game Journalist at Age 9

Greg Miller fell in love with Ghostbusters, Superman, and video games — as we all did — at a young age. But when he realized you could make money writing about his favorite things, he declared at age 9, in no uncertain terms, he would become a games journalist. That ambition became a reality during his tenure at IGN, which began with written coverage, and ended with a lot of on-camera work as online video matured. As the ground got shakier under corporate media, a chance meeting with employees at Patreon illuminated a new way forward: viewer-funded, independent games coverage. Greg and his colleagues took a chance on Kinda Funny, and the fan response was overwhelming. The KF crew just celebrated their 10 year anniversary, and so much has changed since the early days of streamer-first, podcast-first entertainment coverage. Greg joins Matt to discuss his fascinating career, the evolution of modern games coverage, the big risks of launching an independent media company, how parenthood has changed his perspective on work, and why he's not afraid to fight for justice in the face of fascism.
