This is such a fantastic podcast covering many great games that I enjoyed playing.
Thank you so much. I love listening to your show and appreciate the tone, depth, and breadth. You’re both so good at balancing the various aspects of what games are. Congrats on 10 years. Now, I need to go finish listening to your latest :)
My deep, deep thanks to the hosts for the many hours of joyful and intelligent discussion over all this time (a decade?!). The interviews are a special highlight.
I'm sure anyone curious could find a series on a game they know to start at, then pluck at the enormous backlog.
Dev Game Club has, at the time of review, 469 episodes. Each one is at least an hour long (most longer). That means I've spent more than 20 days of my life listening to Brett and Tim Longo Jr-with-a-J-R-at-the-end, and I don't regret a single second of it.

As a wannabe game developer, I often search the web for game design videos, series and podcasts. I often stumble into content that’s either too shallow or is delivered in a convoluted, navel-gazy fashion.
That’s not the case for DGC. I’ve been a listener for almost a decade now and Brett and Tim never fail to deliver valuable insights in an accessible and respectful way.
These guys know what they’re doing and we are lucky that they are willing to share their knowledge with us.
