Game Theory Podcast is BACK!
Back in the day, there was this podcast called Game Theory, co-hosted by Gary Whitta and me. Once a week we talked about the games industry; the business, the people and the companies, and all the wonderful and awful things that they do.
It did well. I guess we had around 10,000 listeners a week and along with our producers Jeremy Williams and Kris Graft, we tackled some big-name guests from the biz.
The show ran for a few years and then we stopped. Gary was busy with his screen-writing career (if you haven’t seen The Book of Eli, then you should) and I was busy drinking and raising hell (by which of course I mean ‘working and raising kids’).
So anyway, long story short, we’re back. The show is returning next week, thanks to my employer IGN. We’ll be recording in IGN’s podcasting studio on Wednesday and IGN will host the new show later in the week.
It will be slightly different. We want the show to be a punchy, inside-the-biz conversation, no longer than 30 mins, in which we cover as many hot topics as possible. It may have a different name; we haven’t decided on that yet. Ideally, we’d like the show to appeal to gamers who also like to listen to the sort of radio we like, such as NPR, BBC Radio 4 or ESPN’s best podcasts.
Personally, I’m really looking forward to getting together with Gary and chewing on gaming and the games biz. He is never short on opinions. One big difference is the show will be created in a studio, instead of recorded via Skype.
We’ll pilot the show and if the audience is big and noisy enough, we’ll carry on at a monthly frequency, just to begin with. So we’re really relying on you to listen to the show and to give us some feedback. Follow me on Twitter @colincampbellx or follow Gary @garywhitta for more news on this. Feel free to let us know what you’d like.
