I’m a big fan of podcasts. They’ve been around for a long time, but there’s still plenty of life in them.
Here are some active podcasts from the video game industry podcasts (yes, including my own):
The Community Lounge
This is my podcast. It features interviews with people in community roles in the video game industry.
The Party Is Full
The Party Is Full takes you behind the scenes of game development. The host, Alessandro, is a AAA live service game Product Manager.
I was a guest on this podcast, where I talked about the challenges of managing player feedback. Listen to my episode.
Player Driven
Hosted by Greg Posner, who I had the pleasure to meet at a recent PGC London event.
The podcast’s tagline is “Stories from the Seasoned Experts”. There’s some really experienced guests in the episode back catalog.
The Business of Video Games Podcast
Hosted by two highly experienced industry veterans, Shams Jorjani (CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios) and Fernando Rizo (Partner at Kaboodle Games).
I unexpectedly found myself in the video game industry, and this podcast is helping me get up to speed.
The Goth Boss Podcast
Cat Burton dives into the real challenges of making games and running studios.
My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin
I love this podcast. The host, Simon, takes time to go deep into people’s back stories – with the skill of a professional interviewer.
Copying the podcast’s own description:
“Simon Parkin, award-winning author video game critic for The Observer invites well-known guests from the worlds of gaming, film and television, music, comedy and more to pick the five video games they would like to immortalise on a fictional games machine. They discuss those five games in chronological order of release, interspersed with biographical chat about the guest’s life and career –– a lens that often leads to new and unexpected insights.”
The Gaming Playbook
The host, Harry, chats with experts in the games industry.
