The Hey folks, welcome back to the official PlayStation Podcast. I'm your host Sid Schuman and I'm doing this

one all by myself. Well, let's see. What's out there in the news? You guys have probably all seen the big PS5 showcase we had just yesterday.

The team all came together and put in a tremendous amount of work around this.

So they're taking a breather right now.

I like to imagine that they're all lying comfortably

on some cot with a cool washcloth pressed

against their foreheads, listening to some mellow tunes.

So you're stuck with me today but the good news is we've got some really good stuff

lined up for you actually.

We knew we were going to be a bit

indisposed by the week's big events and all the big PlayStation 5 news. So we've

lined up some great content for you. Speaking of which, I would love to know your thoughts on the big

PlayStation 5 showcase. We got to see the hardware. We got to see both pieces of

hardware actually. We got to see some great games that are coming to PS5.

So if you haven't already, please do give it a watch and let us

know your thoughts you can email us at blogcast at sownie.com that's blogcast at sownie.com we really

do need to get that updated so we do have some good stuff teed up for you today,

but I say we kicked the whole thing off with a lovely conversation I had with a gentleman by the name

of Eric Lompel. He's a big executive here at

PlayStation. He and I go way back. I know him really well and he's going to shed some

new light on yesterday's big PlayStation 5 news. So let's listen into that conversation. Hey folks I'm here with Eric Lompel. He's the head of global marketing and

consumer experience at PlayStation. Greetings to you Eric.
