Pause & Preamble is a weekly, behind-the-scenes podcast about building a retro gaming YouTube channel in public.Hosted by Ben Wilkinson, a product designer with over 15 years of experience, but no background in game design and no experience as a content creator. This show documents the work behind the work. Each episode is a candid check-in on what was attempted, what was learned, what didn’t work, and what comes next.This isn’t expert advice or polished success stories. It’s a peer-level exploration driven by curiosity: pausing to ask questions, taking stock, and moving forward one week at a time. If you’re interested in how games work, how creative projects actually get built, or what it looks like to learn out loud, Pause & Preamble is for you.
