People Make Games just launched a podcast!
Added 2021-06-07 11:15:34 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Bit of a surprise announcement here, unless you've been hanging out in our Discord over the weekend. We've just launched a podcast called The Games Press!
This is going to be a new monthly show in which Chris interviews interesting voices from around the games media about how and why they do their work.
We're hoping it'll grow into a fantastic tool for aspiring games journalists and anyone else interested in how the media works, but also, Chris just really loves this subject and is eager to see what he can learn that will then feed back into his own work on PMG.
Our first guest is Austin Walker, the host of podcasts like Waypoint Radio and Friends at the Table. Before now, he's served as Waypoint's Editor-in-Chief, as well as a short (but extremely impactful) stint at Giant Bomb East.
He's an incredibly sharp critic and a huge believer in recognising the fact that games, just like all cultural objects, are informed by the world in which they belong to. But can video games 'save us'? He's a little less sure of that.
The podcast should now be available wherever you like to listen to yours, aside from Google Podcasts, which is dragging its heels. Here's the links:
Let us know if you'd like it to appear anywhere else and we'll see what we can do!
