Timbo Talks...


Hello, I'm Timbo... a writer, photographer and podcaster from Sydney, Australia. This is my podcast where I talk about anything to do with work and play – nature, travel, politics, philosophy, social media, technology and psychology.

Sep 3, 2020

This is a fun discussion. I relive the better parts of my childhood with my friend and colleague, Phid McAwesome. We go deep on the alluring power of nostalgia and classic video games. Also, Phid makes a shock confession about the 90s sitcom, 'Friends.'
