This week on The History of Fun, Chris Plante is doing a deep dive into the origins of E3. What began as the red-headed stepchild of CES has since grown into something far...uh, louder? Join us as we travel from LA to Atlanta then back to LA, then to Anaheim briefly, then to a hanger at one point. What a long strange trip it has been and continues to be.
Special thanks to everyone who participated in our new segment, Reader Only Memories, wherein we share listener stories about the topic at hand. Here is the full thread of responses:
Recording a @TheHistoryOfFun tomorrow on E3. I'd love to share some of your stories. Have you been? Do you have any special memories of watching from home? Any fave moments?
