  • 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!

I’ve never listened to the entire episode library of a podcast before Pixel Therapy, nor have I been so moved to go online to write a revi... more

  • 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
