This episode the gang are investigating the intersection of sport and videogames (and podcasting, I suppose). With their helmets and padding on, they’re diving into an episode of ESPN’s 30 for 30, entitled Madden’s Game.
The episode takes a look at the development of the massively popular American football video game, from its early years as an overly ambitious PC program to its current number one slot in games consoles. How did they make the game? How involved was John Madden really? Why is Will Wheaton, that precocious kid from Star Trek, hosting?
We sat down to discuss the power of narrative storytelling, choosing a great host, and how to make difficult editing decisions.
This one is hosted by Chase Souder, who is joined by podcast producers Elizabeth Amos and Zoe Anderson, and audio engineers Alex Rose and Alex Bennett.
