Amazingly consistent podcast putting out a weekly episode (more or less) since 2015! Perfect podcast for those looking for new games and who want to know more about the industry.

Apple Podcasts5SilvermothAustralia6 years ago I've been out of the "Gaming community" for some time now. I still play, but I don't follow it like I used to. Pixel Sift made me feel like I never missed a beat. Very informative show, while not being snobby or overwhelming to folks who may not be avid gamers.
