Talking Simulator

I find video games a very difficult medium to stay on top of, because the focus is always on the latest and greatest triple-A shootfest or eighteen hundred hour RPG. This is why the only video game podcast I listen to is Talking Simulator, because the coverage is on video games that the host and guests find interesting. Jordan Erica Webber is a natural interviewer, and her conversational style is such that I’m never sure if her rapport with guests comes from an existing relationship or talent; I feel like a fly on the wall between two people chatting about games as they would elsewhere. Also, there’s just enough inside baseball to hook someone with a more-than passing interest in games development

Eclectic guests, all with fascinating histories and insights. A rich delight.

Stumbled upon this after it got a mention on bbc radio 4 Woman’s hour I think. I like SIM games and thought that would be the content... Really insightful re gaming industry and woman in gaming (I’m a bloke but still enjoyed it). Introduced me to concepts I would not have given a moments thought before. Looking forward to the next season.

I’m really enjoying the fun and informative conversations in this podcast. It gives great insight into the experience of playing and making games. A recommended listen for anyone interested in videogames.
