Reviews
- Love this pod
I was wondering when you’d interview Jake Solomon! I’ve listened to other interviews with him and he mentioned you, so I was wondering why he hadn’t been on.

United States4 months ago - Quality conversations
Soren manages to balance more technical questions with broader and personal ones such that the podcast is entertaining and relevant for a broad audience. A pleasure to listen to.
Apple Podcasts5Nickname_For_Your_ReviewsUnited States5 months ago - Great interviews with some games industry legends
Very thoughtful and in-depth interviews with many of the greats of the field. I love that Soren, as a peer of his interviewees, is not afraid to sometimes be a bit critical of their past work while getting deep into how they made it succeed. I would go so far as to call it indispensable for anyone who cares about game design and development in general.
Apple Podcasts5OhTheWerewolfUnited States6 months ago - In depth conversations with legendary game designers
A really great podcast with some legendary guests and extremely thorough conversations. Soren covers a lot of ground in each episode. I appreciate that he goes deep into the careers and creative decision making processes with his guests. The extended length of the interviews is welcome - I only wish I could listen to both parts of an interview back to back but it’s worth the wait.
Apple Podcasts5mbcauleyUnited States2 years ago Now, having listened new episodes, which forced me to start listening them from the beginning - you know, dropping one episode (off the many I want to hear throughout from first days) to playlist each day. more
