Uses the framework of talking about video games to skillfully interview a range of interesting characters. Even if you don’t care about games at all worth a listen for the insight into the creative process and life stories of some talented people, with some genuinely moving moments. The host also has a very kind and pleasant voice.
Fantastic

I’m a casual gamer at best, but I love interview podcasts and this is my favorite. Simon is a wonderful interviewer and always pulls unique insights and anecdotes from his guests. I love the deep dives into design and creativity, too. Thanks, Simon, for bringing a highlight to my week!
