  • Season Finale w/ Sam Barlow (Part 1)
    2019/12/31
    It's here - the season finale! Tobias and I reflect on the first season, ask for your feedback and support, and nerd out about teaching and playing Her Story and the tug of war between player and designer. Then Sam Barlow, award-winning designer of Her Story (Polygon Game of the Year 2015) and Telling Lies, joins us to discuss how games are art and how they are changing the way we understand stories, playing, and narrative. He was so generous with his time that we decided to split the interview into two parts. Here's part 1! Remember, join us on social media so we can hear from you!

    It's the Euro episode! Tobias talked to two game-based learning researchers from his Scandanavian community. They have a great wide-ranging conversation about the strengths and limits of games and learning. Also, GBL withdrawal. Tobias and I also discuss how play is an integral part of human (and rat!) nature, why letting kids pretend to be online trolls will help them defeat trolls, and The Washington Post's new video game and esports focused unit, Launcher.

  • "Minecraft is a potato" w/ Steve Isaacs
    2019/10/04
    It's the Minecraft episode! Tobias and I discuss how he's a Minecraft hipster and I don't like playing in the sandbox. We also take a look at how Minecraft continues to not only be strong at 10 years old but is actually more popular than ever. In addition, Minecraft Earth might be the next Pokemon Go, and while Minecraft can be the easiest game-based learning vehicle to drive, it might also be the easiest to crash. Better yet we talk to Minecraft guru and general educational gaming powerhouse Steve Isaacs about Minecraft, game design with students, and Minefaire. It's the Minecraft episode. Listen to it!
