Iain Simons from The National Videogame Museum, UK joins us to discuss their current project: Animal Crossing Diaries. We learn how the museum evolved itself into being over the years, ponder what video games mean, ask, “how do we preserve that meaning through history,” and learn how Animal Crossing may be the perfect vehicle to set that example.

The call for your stories and experiences in Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been made; submit your story: https://animalcrossing.thenvm.org/
