Love it
I'm delighted to have come across this podcast. The topics are brimming with insightful discussions, offering a daily dose of fresh learning. Greg, the host, is simply fantastic.
Really interesting, and relevant content.
Great podcast. Really like how it’s not trying to push sales/marketing content but instead they focus on real world conversations.
There really aren’t many educational resources available for those of us who work in player support. Generic CX publications and podcasts are helpful, but just don’t quite cover some of the nuances of the games industry. This podcast, however, does! Excited to listen to more from Player: Engage!
