This past May, at the 2025 Wagoncon gaming convention, we had a chance to record a chat with Matthew Balent about his history in the game hobby and industry, including a deep dive into the history of Valley of the Pharaohs. Thanks again for your time and the awesome game, Matt, we look forward to chatting with you again!
This recording was fraught with technical setbacks before we even started, and ultimately we just decided to record it with a table mic and get on with the time we had available. As such some of the voices are a bit up and down, but I think it all works out in the end.
