FPS Episode 12: Home Is Where Your Games Are (with Kelsey)
Sunday, 27 March, 2016
Episode 12 of First Person Storyteller, the Season One finale, features Kelsey; a gamer who leaned on her passion for gaming during a time in her life when she found herself homeless in a city 3000 kilometers from where she grew up in Australia. Kelsey’s story intertwines tough times, mistakes, hard work, and a lifetime love for videogames (instilled by her father) to sew a tale of finding comfort during life most difficult turns and eventually achieving redemption. You can hear as Kelsey shares her story that it sometimes hurts to look back, but she wanted to share her story in her own words and tell people how it feels like to feel invisible in a city you call home with or without a roof over your head. You can read a primer for Kelsey’s story, which she shared on Kotaku AU here: http://kotaku.com/i-was-homeless-and-video-games-saved-my-life-1762767569 I obviously want to thank Kelsey for her truth and her candor. I also want to thank all of my previous guests as well as all of my listeners for supporting First Person Storyteller for the past six months. I’m looking forward to taking time between seasons to make the platform as strong as I can make it. I don’t quite know what that means yet, but I look forward to what the mystery holds. Thank you all. I’ll see you all again for Season Two in Fall 2016. Continue to look to the blog for interesting gaming stories in the interim. As always, make sure you subscribe via iTunes so you can be the first to hear Season 2, Episode 1!
