The hosts I think are particularly interesting. Two of the three host Game Studies Study Buddies where they read books and papers from the academic field of games studies. The third host is Austin Walker, former games journalist with Giant Bomb and then Waypoint at Vice. It's a good crew!

oh, it's a podcast where they go through works of genre literature and do close reading and comparisons. They've previously done seasons on J-Horror (via Junji Ito) and Cyberpunk (via William Gibson). Their next season is covering the LoTR and related books

getting ready for the next season of Shelved by Genre?

one guy. he knows some other ones. if mario is riding one, that's just a member of the species. if he is a selectable character a la mariokart or m64ds, that's a guy named Yoshi.
