    Red Barrels Podcast: Episode 4

    In defiance of reason and good taste, the Red Barrels Podcast has lurched to its fourth episode. Today, we discuss three games: Fallout 2, 1000X Resist and Pentiment, and wring the political content out of them like a wet rag. Then we crash into the news, talking about fascist Fallout mod enthusiasts, the reliability of labour campaigning performed by Sonic the Hedgehog, and then force ourselves to talk about Trump and his tariffs.

    Red Barrels Podcast: Episode 3

    They said it couldn't happen - the third episode of Red Barrels is here! Alex, Sofie and Ed are back to talk about the games they've been playing, argue about the ideology within them, and then get into the news. Including! The start of a probably regular segment deep-diving into all the drama surrounding the Disco Elysium ZA/UM fallout. IN FACT! Much to our annoyance, merely one day after recording, ZA/UM splinter developers Longdue officially announced their new game (along with a crowdfunder): Hopetown. You may also have seen our fabulous new branding! This is thanks to the incomparable Bella Harter, who you can find on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_.o.bella.o._ For updates on our upcoming episodes, make sure to subscribe and follow us on Twitter or increasingly BlueSky: ⁠⁠@redbarrelspod⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@redbarrelspodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠ Your hosts are: Alex: ⁠⁠@alexduin⁠⁠, ⁠⁠@alexduin.bsky.social⁠⁠ Sofie: ⁠⁠@sofreelymedia⁠⁠, ⁠⁠@sofreely.bsky.social⁠⁠, streaming on ⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/sofreely⁠⁠ Ed: ⁠⁠@stillnotalemon⁠⁠, ⁠⁠@notalemon.bsky.social⁠⁠ Fantastic theme song from ⁠⁠brilliantdrink⁠⁠!

    Red Barrels Podcast: Episode 2

    Welcome to the second episode of the Red Barrels Podcast! Listen in to a bunch of lefties chatting about games and the politics behind them. Starring Alex, Ed and Sofie, we announce the Red Barrels Podcast's First Annual Most Ideologically Correct Game of the Year award, and then discuss the capitalist behemoth that is the less ideologically correct Game Awards. This is the last podcast of the year, but don't despair - we'll be back in January, hopefully with a more regular schedule!
