Celebrating 30 Years Of Persona LIVE At Naka Kon - SMTN Link 394

This month I had the pleasure to host a Persona 30th Anniversary panel at Naka Kon 2026 in Kansas. This recording is for everyone who was not able to make it to the live panel, but thank you to everyone who came out filling up the whole room! This panel is a spoiler free look back at the series over the last 30 years for Persona.

Atlus news has been quiet, but that won't stop the podcast (maybe just slow it down).

2026 is a massive year for video game anniversaries and so much more. So to help us predict what might happen I invited Larrue and Macca onto the podcast once again.
