Best gaming podcast I have come across!
I found this podcast accidentally when I saw someone on instagram post about it and I was initially drawn by the cover art. I thought to myself ‘It looks quirky and the art style makes me feel like it will be a safe space!’ and oh was I right! Spencer and Jamie have created a beautiful space in which they discuss and unpack games in a nuanced way- being able to hold both their love of gaming and criticism of the industry and I think that is precious. They discuss topics so close to my heart and it is nice to have a gaming space that acknowledges and discusses queerness, race, disability, etc. with so much empathy and humanity while also tying it in with the emotional experience of gaming and how we relate to games. I think one of my favourite things about it is the fact that a discussion about a game is never just flat and dry, mechanics are discussed not only in respect to how they feel and play, but with respect to what do they say, are they accessible? Same goes for narrative- always looking at the bigger picture. Anyway, basically I love this podcast and you should give it a go- you’ll feel right at home and safe 💜

I am so happy I found this podcast! I like this pod because it tackles issues not talked about in other pods, such as race and gender. It is nice to hear two wonderful hosts discuss this issues in the context of gaming.
