Episode 382: Keli aka Kelz1977 talks growing up in the 80's, Twitch Streaming & Video Games

Tales from the Fandom

Sometimes in life, you find people that you just connect with. Sometimes, when you connect with those people, all plans are thrown out the window and you get to have a wonderfully authentic conversation based on how those people grew up. Such is this episode with Keli aka Kelz1977 on Twitch.

As I told Keli when we started recording, a lot of the time, the people that come on the podcast are younger than I am. It's a rare occasion when I have someone around my age. Being that we're 2ish years apart, Keli and I spend the first half of the episode throwing out our original plans and instead we reminisce about growing up in the 80's and early 90's. From staying out until the street lights came on, to our experiences as kids coming home from school, to certain iconic movies and shows (including Labyrinth, The Last Unicorn, and The Dark Crystal). It was wonderful to take the time and just enjoy going back to that time period and having that same shared experience.

Then, we talk about the most unlikeliest thing to happen for Keli. Her journey into being a streamer on Twitch. Keli talks about how she started in the streaming community, on Facebook! She talks about going from watching to being a mod, and then ultimately taking that leap into streaming on Twitch. We talk about the video games she plays and why she chooses those certain games, her community, and more.
