Customer Reviews
Fun and Informative
This podcast as all about women's issues in gaming. The three women who host are all college professors or grad students, so they have a unique academic angle as well. Anyone interested in gaming, feminism, or listening to smart, funny women should subscribe.
Insightful stuff!
This is a great podcast; I wish I hadn't slept on it as long as I have. The voices and perspectives of the hosts are ones that would leave the white/cis/male-dominated games industry (and--ditto--gaming culture) in a much better place, were they more widely heard therein. Tell your friends; this podcast is one worth subscribing to.
Great feminist gaming podcast
I think it is a refreshing twist to hear a gaming podcast from a feminist perspective. These women are really insightful.
One criticism, you could make a drinking game out of the number of times they use the word "interesting."
