Post Games is an NPR-style podcast about video games.
Each week, games media veteran Chris Plante (co-founder of Polygon, co-host of The Besties) tackles a new topic with the help of guest experts. This episode is a tasting menu: four conversations with four very different experts.
YouTuber AnyAustin reflects on growing old as a gaming YouTuber. Author Keza MacDonald gives us a hint of Nintendo's future. Philosopher C. Thi Nguyen explains how metrics and optimization have infected our favorite games. And critic and game designer Tim Rogers recommends the perfect starting point for Dragon Quest.
This is the perfect entry point for newcomers and a taste of what's available for paid subscribers on the Patreon!
