Cat Context Podcast #117 – Three Years Happened

The circular nature of life can be strange.  You are oftentimes presented with opportunities that you never quite expected.  The Thirteenth of April was the six year anniversary of AggroChat, and that is extremely germaine to today’s topic.  In 2014 I was listening to a podcast created and hosted by one of my good friends called Cat Context.  The shift to listening to it was extremely natural because at the time I was playing Rift as part of the Machiavelli’s Cat, so it felt like I was listening to an extension of guild chat.  It was effectively three friends, hanging out on voice chat and talking about a bunch of loose topics for roughly an hour.

The chemistry that this group of friends had was staggering, and it planted a seed in my head that I could in theory do the same thing with the large cast of characters that I hung out with on a nightly basis on Teamspeak.  Little did I know at the time that making a conversation seem effortless is way harder than it sounds, and I am still in awe of the great interactions that always happened on the Cat Context podcast.  Over the years I would get wistful and tweet at Liore or Aro about how much I miss the show.  Apparently this stuck in Liores head as earlier this week I got a DM announcing that they had gotten “the band back together” but lacked any place to actually host or advertise it.

So it is with great pleasure that I have the opportunity to announce Cat Context episode 117, or at least we think that is the appropriate number.  Three years ago life happened to all of these wonderful hosts and the show sorta dropped.  As a result we have a show that talks about at least in part what has happened over the last three years and more importantly what life is like now living in the time of pandemic.  I hope you are all as pleased to see a new episode of Cat Context and I would absolutely be willing to set up more permanent hosting for the trio if this thing starts happening more frequently.
