Game Studies Study Buddies - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Michael and Cameron are reading the massive tomes of game studies so you don’t have to. If I hear about a book that may help in my research, but am on the fence about, I check to see if Michael and Cameron have done an episode on it. This has led me both to great time savings, but also some indispensable additions to my library. Also 10/10 cathartic dunking on the ever-tiring Huizinga and on Flow - worth listening just for that. Thanks for the great show!

The perfect balance between being entertaining and educational. I've been catching up on the backlog while doing farm chores. Every day my chickens seem a little bit wiser.
I also highly recommend Just King Things, whether you're interested in Stephen King or not. Cameron's impression of the lobstrosities lives rent free in my brain now.

This is the perfect podcast for anyone who likes to think about media rigorously, but doesn’t want to be trapped in an abandoned lime works where you’re tied to a chair and forced to listen to an aging man whispering inaudible noises in your ear for decades, all the time not knowing whether the sounds you’re hearing are madness or genius, only that it can all only end with your eventual violent demise. Drop out of grad school and listen to this podcast instead!

Definitely sub to the Patreon…the notes are worth it and sometimes they too are funny. Horizon-expanding. Will be going in my dissertation acknowledgements if I get there.
