Customer Reviews
Unique, Informative, and Interesting
I can’t think of - or at least, I’m not aware - of anything else out there like this right now. Each episode is a chapter-by-chapter, detailed discussion of a different game studies book, summarizing the book while providing important context, and occasional counterpoint, to the book’s arguments.
If that sounds like your thing, I think you’ll very much like this podcast, and if not, then likely not. An important caveat is that episodes are relatively long, but that can be seen as a positive for listeners comfortable breaking up a podcast into several listening sessions.
Vitally important
I have loved everything I've heard from these two so far, their analyses are always thoughtful and they have drastically changed how I look at games.
iTunes can’t keep them down
For whatever reason iTunes is not automatically downloading new episodes for me, but this podcast is so good I go out of my way to check regularly and download episodes manually!
