  • Critically great

    I listened to the Joseph Anderson one because he's my favorite youtuber. I found this podcast entertaining but the audio was a bit on the poor side.The interview could use some work but overall i think its a great podcast to listen to.

  • Compelling and Insightful Conversations

    I recently discovered this podcast and found the recent interviews with online video creators to be very facinating -- especially given that the guests haven't done many other interviews. They talk about their processes, inspiration, and their craft generally which was really cool to hear. Host Eric Swain is personable and asks genuinely interesting questions.

    If you're interested in games criticism, this is a must listen

  • Rethink Gaming

    Critical Distance is the reason I got into gaming again. I had left it as an idle past time, knowing that it had a lot of wasted potential for art. Critical Distance changed that by bringing together voices that are looking at video games in a whole new way. The CDC podcast interviews critics and creators alike, as they their inspirations, games, critiques, and interesting articles and reviews.
