Podcast Episode 10: Guest Dr Melissa Kagen

Notes: We forgot to tell Melissa we’re PG! We bleeped a couple of words. Also, Lyle does know the Civil War and Civil Rights Movement are different things in different centuries (~minute 14); forgive her slip of the tongue.

Dr Melissa Kagen of Bangor University joins us this week to talk about “wandering games”: walking sims, archival adventures, and “misplaying” video games for cultural and political purposes. Be sure to check out the Call for Proposals for Melissa Kagen & Eben Muse’s “Wandering Games” Conference, 10-12 July 2019 in Bangor, Wales, UK (CFP closes 1 Feb 2019).

This episode’s “Pick a Card” topic:

Lyle lost the deck of cards! Bad Lyle. We went with “Books (or DFs or games) that are on your nightstand right now”.
