Kiki interviews Charlie, a woman with over 20 years in the gaming industry, about the overlap between gaming and heavy metal communities and the underrepresentation of women in these spaces. Charlie shares her background transitioning from music journalism to roles in gaming localization, art, academia, and business development.

Her passion for music fueled her diverse career path. They discuss the importance of women supporting each other rather than competing, and Charlie's experiences as a young, "cheeky" music journalist trying to access bands she loved.

Charlie's research now focuses on using games to preserve cultural heritage, languages, and traditions in an engaging way. They emphasize the importance of preserving endangered languages and cultures.
