  • Not enough people know about this.

    Great Game chat. Obviously Devolver biased but much more is included.

    This is intelligent, funny and somewhat revealing chatter from the fantastically Maverick game publishers.

  • Not as #Edgy as Devolver Direct

    If UK accents and somewhat inconsistent volume levels doesn’t put you off, I quite enjoy hearing these conversations from developers of some of my fave indie games!

    Also get some female guests from time to time it’s a real sausage fest in this feed.
