The magnificent Arcade Brewery's in the house this month for a great batch of stories inspired by the theme "Press Start" (mostly). From bands to brewers to Jedis, you'll hear about the genesis of many things over the next couple episodes. We recommend pairing your podcast listening with a delightful Dubbeltime Ale, unless you're under 21 or driving or something. Then don't do that. If you're at work, eh, whatever. We won't tell. This episode, enjoy:

• Cover Stories: Creep
• Cover Stories: Ironic
• Jeremy Kanne: (Press Start) on High-School Crushes
• Chris Tourre: (Press Start) on Partnerships
• Vanessa Walilko: (Press Start) on 100%ing
• Orion Couling: (Press Start) on Becoming a Jedi
• Lily Be: (Press Start) on Storytelling
• Katie Johnston-Smith: Mad

Thanks so much to Arcade Brewery for a really cool night. Also, thanks to our sponsor for the eipsode, Jackbox Games, and to the Chicago Podcast Coop for being rad. If you want to support the CPC, come to our next Your Stories event, where they're the special guest!
