Get a taste of new and old with the bi-weekly Indie and Retro podcast! We look at the current gaming world through the lens of indie and retro video games.
Pac-Man was made for an audience that had never had games made for them before. Young smelly boys had had their time! There were so many space shooters… what if a game was about a circle with a mouth? Well, that game would launch one of - if not THE - biggest gaming icon of all time into the stratosphere. Hopefully there’s a lot of food up there, because this guy is HUNGRY. Come learn about Pac-Man with us.

Edutainment
Edutainment! It’s when you learn and it’s fun! Are you in your adult years and wondering why so many of us played the same handful of educational video games during “computer class” growing up? There’s a reason! Is there still computer class in school? The young people have apps and tablets instead. There are educational apps! Maybe too many. Join us as we edutain you on a journey through 60 years of video games meant to teach while also being fun to play, and find out what happened to The Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego.

What is real anymore, truly?
