It’s a really fun listen.
Interesting show about the business of making video games, more about the games themselves. As an industry watcher, I like this. Has a lot of interesting industry guests and interviews and talks about the issues of the day in a non-sensationalized way.

As the name implies, this is great for those interested in the business of games.
