Hello, I’m Matt Baume, and welcome to the Sewers of Paris. Last week we heard from a Twitch streamer from Germany who goes by the name Jygglypuffdaddy, and this week I want to bring you a conversation with another streamer — Brian Gray, also known online as Urban Bohemian. A shy kid, Brian used to find it difficult to make friends… until he realized that his love of nerdy culture like Clue and British sci-fi were actually signposts that could help him find the friend group that he’d been looking for all his life.
And by the way — Brian’s recently joined the cast of the show Rivals of Waterdeep, a D&D livestream and podcast. Check out RivalsOfWaterdeep.com to follow along with his adventures there.
Also, a quick thanks to everyone who supports the Sewers of Paris on Patreon.
And just a reminder that I’ve started a new weekly newsletter for all the stuff I’m working on. You can sign up at mattbaume.com — each week I give you a little sneak peek into upcoming projects, little bits of weird fun cultural artifacts I’ve uncovered in various archives, and of course links to cute animal videos.
Also check out my YouTube videos for deep dives into queer pop culture history. That’s at youtube.com/mattbaume.
And I hope you’ll join me for regular videogame livestreams over atTwitch.tv/mattbaume every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon at 2pm pacific.
