Join Andrew, Dylan, and special guest Jordan Rae for a lively and inspiring discussion on all things nerdy and creative! In this episode, we welcome cosplayer, streamer, graphic designer, and fledgling podcaster Jordan Rae to the show. Jordan shares her journey from designing logos in college to building a community through cosplay, streaming, and her new horror-themed podcast, Read It and Reap.

We dive into the challenges and surprises of getting started as a creator, how conventions and streaming have helped Jordan build confidence, and what it’s like to find your place in the geek community. Jordan also talks about her favorite cosplay builds (including some dangerously cool cardboard weaponry!), the creative hurdles of streaming, and why starting a podcast with a friend was both intimidating and rewarding.

Of course, we get into gaming, chatting about everything from nostalgic Nintendo 64 memories and the emotional journey of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, to the highs and lows of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and current PC favorites. Plus: a round of "Go On, Name Them" where Jordan and Dylan put their video game knowledge to the test!

Whether you’re a fellow content creator, die-hard gamer, or just here for good vibes, this episode is packed with candid insights, laughter, and plenty of inspiration to get out there and start creating.
