# Scott Hanselman sits down with Polycade’s Tyler Bushnell

I tend to be a regular listener of [Hanselminutes](https://hanselminutes.com/), the podcast from Scott Hanselman. And while he’s inevitably got an interesting guest, every episode, I always perk up when his guest — like Scott — is from the Portland area. [Like this conversation with Tyler Bushnell of Polycade](https://hanselminutes.com/1013/the-ultimate-home-arcade-with-polycades-tyler-bushnell).

> This week Scott welcomes Tyler Bushnell, founder of Polycade, to talk about reimagining the arcade experience for modern homes. Drawing on his family’s Atari legacy, Tyler shares how Polycade blends retro charm with sleek design and modern game libraries—all while encouraging face-to-face connection. From Kickstarter roots to Techstars growth, we explore how Polycade became a favorite among creators and why the future of gaming might look more social than ever!
