Sam describes her episode:

My podcast is about how video games have changed from a single-player experience to a way of connecting, entertaining, and socializing. To start, I will explore the rise in online games and how far gaming has come from its beginnings in arcades. I will also discuss the ways in which Youtube and Twitch have affected the video game industry as a whole. I plan to focus on the roles influencers play, as well as why viewers choose to spend their free time watching other plays rather than play themselves
