Hello!

And welcome to my inaugural episode for my new podcast: Dr. T: They Gaymer & Film PhD!

I'm Angelo, and for my first episode, I interviewed my friend Nik Pearson, who runs the UK Heated Rivalry fan account on Instagram and Threads: @dailyheatedrivalry.

By day, Nik is a barrister in Manchester, but by night, he is a Heated Rivalry super fan, who shares stories, events, pictures and much more on his fan account that currently has over 22 thousand followers!

Although Nik and I have never met in person before, we have exchanged messages and voice memos for months. Our online connection has turned into a friendship, and the chemistry is evident in this episode, which marks the first time we've ever chatted live with one another.

The excitement is palpable. We have so much to say and there is so much to discuss,  ...
