This Podcast is so great. It’s unlike other video game podcasts because instead of just news and recent game reviews, it digs in to the behind the scenes of video game development from two guys (and guests) who know a lot about the industry. It’s consistently well done and even if you’re not an...Read full review »

Sure, this is another "two guys talking about games" podcast, but don't hold that against it. Mike and Alexander have lots of experience in the games indistr, are very entertaining and very enjoyable to listen to. Highly Recommend!

The format is awesome... they discuss what games they are playing, what's going on with their studio, and reader mail. The insights and info they deliver is valuable to developers, designers, and hobbyists.

As a passionate gamer I really appreciate what you guys do each week. You provide a unique perspective from the development and business side of gaming that can't be found elsewhere. Keep up the good work!

It's been a year already! The Bithell Games podcats is one of my favourites - Alexander Sliwinski is an ex-Joystiq journalist and wise-cracking American whose enthusiasm for the games he plays is matched only by the cutting wit of the titular Brit and developer Mike Bithell. They host a great...Read full review »

I can't say enough good things about the Bithell Games podcast. If you're interested in the development side of games, write about games, love games or develop games yourself, there's something for all of you here. It's great to see a podcast which has a regular format, but also has fascinating...Read full review »

I subscribe to many podcasts, but this is one of the best for developers. As a Unity developer of my first title (Aloft), each episodes content is fresh, relevant and always engaging. When the show has guests, they always add value and enhance existing great material. I particularly liked hearing...Read full review »

Thank you Mike and Alexander for making train journeys interesting and rainy camping trips fun by creating a podcast with an intriguing insight into the behind the scenes world of independent game development!

Very interesting

A unique look inside a small indie studio and what goes along with that. Conversations about games, game development, and the business behind games.

As someone who spends a lot of time playing videogames and following games media, having the chance to have an insight into what publishing a game and having your own studio feels like and entails is just great. Alexander and Mike are great fun to listen to, and they manage to keep discussions...Read full review »

Keep up the good work, men!

I have listened to a number of game related podcasts, but as devs who are actively working in the industry, Mike and Alexander bring a credibility and authority to this show that most of the podcasts tend to lack. It's a great help to me as I am a student who hopes to be an indie dev one day and...Read full review »

One of the most honest and informative looks at various aspects of modern game development in any medium. A must listen for indie game devs or anyone looking for a break from the usual outlets and personalities.
PokingBabiesWithSticks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/16
As an indie game developer and a fan of Bithell Games, this podcast is exactly what I want it to be. The guys are funny, and very informative about the game industry. Makes my commute to Dallas more educational and fun.

The talks that went into the Brexit episode was in-depth and also showed a ground level look at what indies are facing in the separation of UK from the EU. I hope that more people find this podcast.

I will never be a game developer but as a consumer of games this podcast provides a great insight into the development process. However, Mike and Alexander are really interesting people to listen to, so the podcast is always entertaining as well as informative. Well worth listening to. Thanks...Read full review »

Really good podcast, interesting sections about the inner workings of a games studio and good to know others have the same issues.
chapers13 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/18/16
This is a great show. If you want to be more informed in what is going on with game dev, look no further. Mike and Alex have really good chemistry.
Cosmicdancer1987 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/16
Mike and Alexander discuss the video games industry from multiple perspectives each week. I recommend this podcast to anyone interested in breaking into the games industry or who just has an interest into how the industry works. Programming, art, business (and a lot of law), it's all discussed...Read full review »

Excellent podcast, Alexander and Mike are both very amiable guys and love the mix of guest they weave into the show. I'm not sure if this has been covered in an early show but what game development software would you recommend for somebody wanting to give it a go for the first time?
Jeddyknight via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/10/16
As someone who is a fan of video games and interested in the industry, this show is fantastic. I love it. It gives a lot of insight about what it's like being a developer in the industry today, while at the same time being very entertaining. If you are interested in learning more about some of...Read full review »

A podcast to listen to thats both silly fun and an interesting insiders view of the insides of the games industry!
Angry Nonbinary via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/16
As a high schooler who wants to go into the business, this podcast is absolutely wonderful! It's interesting to hear about the "behind the scenes" or the business side of stuff that I haven't found anywhere else. The hosts are fantastic and funny, and guests are intriguing. 10/10 recommend!

I'm enjoying hearing about games from a different angle. Lots of how the business works with a little bit of opinion all wrapped up into a charming package. Good listen.
Pommejohn via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/11/16
I study games programming and listen to many many podcast, and if you are looking for a podcast that will go "behind the scenes" of game dev, this is the best one I know of currently. What gives the Bithell Games Podcast the edge over many other game dev podcasts, is as simple as it is important:...Read full review »

This podcast was recommended by EDGE magazine, and I've found it fantastic so far. Two likeable guys (especially the dude who stated he loved 'Shadows of Mordor') who break down the creative and business sides of making great interactive entertainment. Thomas, you're not alone anymore.

Some great insights from a very thoughtful game developer with a great career ahead of him.
