  • Josh is so incredibly knowledgeable and really knows how to keep his guests talking about the games each episode. I love tuning into an episode about a game that I thought I knew a lot about and learning way more than I came in with. Very HIGHLY recommended.

  • Still Loading Podcast is one of the most informative podcasts on video gaming. The host does an amazing job of bringing on passionate and informed guests when he is covering a game and some great story tellers when he does more interview style episodes. Whatever topic he is covering, you will know things after listening that you did not know before. And if you're in the mood for some lighter content, this crazy dude has watched and recorded episodes about every cartoon in Captain N.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Still Loading #398: Wholesome Games w/ Jenny Windom
Q: How does the curation process work for Directs?
The team uses a combination of submissions, community discovery, and occasional outreach to studios. They rate games with a star system, assess their ability to read and read well in a showcase, and consider visuals, identity, and emotional heart, with heavy emphasis on authenticity and distinctiveness.
Still Loading #398: Wholesome Games w/ Jenny Windom
Q: What is Wholesome Direct and what makes it unique?
Wholesome Direct is a showcase organized by Wholesome Games to highlight cozy, hopeful, and non-traditional game experiences. It has grown from a social media initiative into a multi-format platform with two showcases a year (Wholesome Direct in summer and Wholesome Snack in winter) and a publishing arm to bring these games to wider audiences.
Still Loading #401: Mario 101 w/ Drew Mackie
Q: What is Mario 101 about and why does it exist as a long post?
Mario 101 is a compilation of small, individual facts about Mario that didn't fit into separate posts, organized into 101 items to let readers explore history in bite-sized chunks and discover connections across time and cultures.
Still Loading #378: The Super Nintendo Entertainment System w/ Nadia Oxford and Dan Greenberg
Q: What was the dominant dynamic in the SNES life cycle and how did it shape its legacy?
The console wars between Nintendo and Sega defined the era, driving aggressive marketing, exclusive games, and rapid technological and strategic shifts that ultimately cemented the SNES's place in gaming history.
Still Loading #374: The Adventures of Bayou Billy w/ Josh Folan
Q: Would you consider Bayou Billy worth revisiting today for its ideas or is it more of a cautionary tale?
It's a fascinating case study in ambition and production constraints; while the ideas are strong—multi-genre, strong art direction, and cinematic touches—the execution fails to deliver a cohesive, satisfying experience, making it more of a cautionary tale than a classic to replay routinely.
