University Challenge The Incredible Playable Podcast

Alistair turns his spyglass of playfulness towards TV quiz show University Challenge: a show whose main gimmick is that the questions are really really hard.
 
He explores the emergent design of these super-difficult questions, and his own experience trying to re-interpret the show as a playful video challenge. Then, he points his ludolicious lens towards games in the art world, to see how artists have approached the same idea: using games to generate art.
