It's been a year since former nintendo USA President Reginald fils-aime retired, but he doesn't seem to have much time on his hands.

According to the Washington times, Reginald recently announced that he and Harold, the Washington times' game editor, will start a charity radio show called Talking Games with Reggie and Harold.

The series is currently limited to seven episodes, with each episode featuring a major industry player chatting about games. The first episode will feature TGA founder Geoff Keighley. Reginald says his goal is to create a radio show that is fun, entertaining and informative.

But the purpose of this broadcast production is not only to entertain the public, but also to promote the ongoing fundraising campaign of the New York game critics association (NYVGCC). NYVGCC is a nonprofit organization that brings together staff from a variety of news organizations to teach news writing and game development to homeless youth ages 13 to 18 in the Bronx, offering classes, workshops, scholarships and internships.

The Bronx is a famous slum area in New York with poor living conditions and a high incidence of crime. In this new outbreak, the Bronx has been the hardest hit, adding to already difficult conditions, especially for homeless minors in shelters, who live in harsh conditions and have difficulty maintaining Internet access and WiFi in their daily lives.

Donations raised by NYVGCC will be used to provide these children with free game consoles and games to send some happiness to their hard lives.

Reginald is himself a management member of NYVGCC. Reginald said he joined NYVGCC because he grew up in the Bronx, where he now works as a volunteer. He is well aware of the hardships of living here and hopes to provide the children with the experience and opportunity to go out.

The first episode of "Talking Games with Reggie and Harold" is expected to be released in mid-may. The content is completely free, and listeners can voluntarily donate money on an online donation page. As an incentive, donors get some extra exclusive content and the chance to participate in Reginald's q&a session. At the same time, donors can participate in private auctions where some of the most valuable game collectibles will be auctioned off, including a nintendo magazine signed by miyamoto.

NYVGCC has a goal of $15,000 to donate, and once that goal is met, tutoring sessions will be posted online for all to study for free.
