The real draw of this podcast isn’t just the wonderful deep dives into specific corners of video game culture and mechanics. It’s Chris Plante’s ability to draw thoughtful answers out of his guests. I’ve not only learned a lot - I’ve also found a lot of interesting books and podcasts from the people Plante has spotlighted.

I’ve waited my entire adult life for a gaming podcast like this: thoughtful, passionate, and totally engaging. Chris is a phenomenal host; you can feel his respect for the artistry that goes into every single corner of the industry, from development to music to fandom itself. Nothing ever feels phoned in, and I learn something new every week.
A show like this elevates the entire industry, and I’m not kidding or exaggerating when I say that. This one definitely deserves your attention!

Post Games is the podcast I suggest to my non-gamer friends to convince them that there’s an intelligent, funny and most of all, hugely artistic world they are missing out on. Throw in an episode with my other favorite show’s host - Russ Cradle from Retro Game Corps - and you have a solid gold show!
