See you next Tuesday angry weather underground

Just a lost of evil weather underground trained journalists… can’t build anything, horrible bias, evil intent. A complete zero of an organization and podcast. Truly reprehensible and anti art and science

Incredible podcast

An In-Depth Look

A great look at the industry from several sides. My personal favorites are Austin's interviews with fellow composers, but really, the whole show is just phenomenal.

Engaging and Insightful!

I highly recommend this podcast to any gamer who would like to hear the other side of the video game industry that may not be so visible to consumers. Majority of us only see the end product and this podcasts reveals many interesting insights on the business and development process behind the games we enjoy today. The host, Ted, does an excellent job on maintaining a focused discussion!
