Away From Keyboard


Jan 10, 2022

Liam guides Louise through the storied history of Neopets in part 1 of a very special series on the virtual world that taught us to code, care, and collect currency. Join us to hear how Neopets evolved from a side-project, tried new forms of online advertisement, and – through a series of acquisitions and the death of Flash Player – became what it is today.
