Welcome to episode 26, our biggest episode yet!

Sceners are a peculiar bunch, juggling creativity and technical prowess, often even within the same individuals.
What does it do with us to create, compete and socialise in this environment, and how can we take care of ours’ and others’ wellbeing?

We explore the psychology behind the demoscene, demoparties and demomaking with Tom, who does not just create amazing Atari-demos with Genesis Project, Effect and SMFX, but also lectures on Community Psychology at the University of Leeds.

We appreciate that even two hours can’t do justice to all angles of this complex topic. If you would like to share your thoughts, stories and questions, send them to zineradioshow@scene.org or to our social media accounts. If you are interested and we receive enough feedback, we might produce a follow-up in the future.
