  • The Podcast That Made Me Rediscover What Gaming Can Do For Us

    As someone who has been playing video games since they were only 5, they were actually kind of a big part of who I was, until one day I sort of put down the controller and never picked it back up — it just sort of faded away as a hobby, I guess.

    Recently, I played a story-based, AAA video game (just like the ones I mainly used to play) for the first time in years, and I remembered why I used to be a “gamer”. I liked the feeling of getting lost in something but also having the control to decide ... more

  • Much Needed Diverse Voices In Gaming

    I heard about this podcast through The Cozy Robot Show and I love what I’m hearing. In this realm that is rampant with white male stereotypes, it’s a breath of fresh air to hear from other voices about the gaming industry, games, and the impact these games have today. Being a white straight male, I’m looking forward to learning and growing through the stories shared here so we can make gaming more inclusive and accepting. Thank you for this podcast!

  • Best gaming podcast I have come across!

    I found this podcast accidentally when I saw someone on instagram post about it and I was initially drawn by the cover art. I thought to myself ‘It looks quirky and the art style makes me feel like it will be a safe space!’ and oh was I right!

    Spencer and Jamie have created a beautiful space in which they discuss and unpack games in a nuanced way- being able to hold both their love of gaming and criticism of the industry and I think that is precious.

    They discuss topics so close to my heart a... more
