Michael Abbott's Brainy Gamer Podcast is by far the most informative and intellectually exciting podcast about video games out there. Michael is sincere in his love of games, thoughtful in his consideration of games as a form of cultural production, and he has extremely great taste in friends/guests. This podcast (and the Brainy Gamer website) changed the way I think about and play games.

This show discusses some really interesting topics about video games, like creation, themes, even the violence-to-videogames debate. Discussions are brainy, as the title says, but easy to understand.
