“Super Metroid Forever” w/ Chris Cauley

“Super Metroid Forever” w/ Chris Cauley

Author: Indy Hall February 12, 2024 Duration: 44:17

ON THIS EPISODE:

Media preservation comes in a lot of forms: new presses of vinyl records, 4K updates to classic movies, and randomizing 90s era video games! For Chris Cauley, the best way to relive nostalgia is to disassemble the components of a classic game, rearrange them up, and relive them for the first time.

Chris and I talk about the community that’s formed around remaking, demaking, remixing, and randomizing Super Metroid, a 30 year old game on Super Nintendo. 


ABOUT MOST UNIVERSAL:

Most Universal is a podcast about the interconnectedness of idiosyncrasies. 

Every week, I sit down with friends and members of the Indy Hall community, and we discuss our unexpected interests, surprising career paths, and quirky qualities that make us who we are.

Make new friends with fascinating people, or learn a little more about the folks you thought you knew! 

Indy Hall members can join LIVE recordings every Thursday at 12pm eastern. New episodes are released every Monday, where ever you enjoy podcasts. 

And remember, ⁠“what is most personal, is most universal”⁠.

[Original music for Most Universal by Steady State]


There's a line from psychologist Carl Rogers that says, "What is most personal is most universal." For nearly twenty years, the community at Indy Hall has lived that idea, discovering that the deepest, most specific passions one person holds often create the strongest connections with others. This is the heart of Most Universal. Hosted by Indy Hall's Community Director, Adam Teterus, each conversation starts from a place of genuine curiosity. Adam sits down with fellow community members and interesting voices from beyond, not to discuss broad trends, but to dive into the granular details of what truly captivates them. You’ll hear about obscure hobbies, professional niches, and personal fixations, all explored with warmth and depth. The aim isn't just to showcase an interest, but to uncover the shared human experience tucked inside it-why a particular pursuit resonates so deeply and how that resonance spreads. This podcast is built on the belief that by listening closely to one person's specific story, we often find a piece of our own. It’s a series for anyone who believes that our weirdest corners are where we most truly meet.
