Smart, Great, Engaging Interviews
I love video games, podcasts, and smart discussion of media and its affect on our lives. I've long been aching for a video game centered podcast that isn't just hosted by smart people, but doesn't focus on inside baseball of game culture–instead spending time on intelligent discussion of how video games affect people. There's nothing wrong with the myriad popular video game podcast and writing outlets out there, but I'm just not interested in more discussion of the same things I see on Twitter or elsewhere every day. Plenty of people want that, but I want something more. There's a lot of room for podcasts in this particular area still, but Ches hit on a goldmine with this idea. Focusing specifically on the psychological impact of games by having guests of various niche expertise is a great way to point out all the countless ways video games can and do make dents in how we examine, experience, help, (and possibly hurt) the world around us. His guest selection has been great so far, but just as important–and much more rare–is Ches's interview quality. He asks great questions such that this show is one of the few times I've found myself rapt with attention while listening to interviews. Every question included is significant, gives easy starting points for guests to build from, and quickly gets to the heart of what makes that particular interviewee's experience valuable and interesting to others–rather than the huge areas of overlap they might also be able to share information on but would be less singificant and engaging. I find myself saving these episodes for times when I know I won't have to rewind because my focus shifted for a few seconds and for an interview show that's a *huge* victory for me. I look forward to future episodes!Read full review »

It was great to talk with Ches about games. Games have impacted my life in major ways like teaching me how to read.
