Humour and Games Podcast

We hope you enjoyed our first season. We will be a bit radio silent as we prepare for the second season. If you are interested in being involved let us know.

By popular demand from the first season, we're rolling out the full interviews we conducted with folks. This week, we've got our talk with Jaako Stenros, @LizardEnigma! Take a listen to learn more about Nordic LARP, and humour in dark/trangressive play. open.spotify.com/episode/1bEsIR…

As usual, these episodes only exist because of the amazing folks that spoke with us. Thank you to @sparklebliss, @aarontram and @LizardEnigma!

Back with a new episode! This week, we take a look at how the form and impacts of humour can shift as games can change. From digital to analog technologies, individual to group play, and how market considerations that can impact those changes. open.spotify.com/episode/6j0MwH…

Also, if Spotify isn't your preferred platform, you can also listen to every episode on our website, Apple Podcasts or our Youtube Channel. connectingtogame.ca/humourandgames…

As always, none of this would be possible without our interviewees! So, a special thank you to @knarniapop, @sparklebliss, @LizardEnigma and @happeningfish for speaking with us.

We're back with a new season! To start the new slate, we turn to the serious and silly uses of humour in social activism and pedagogy. Experts talk to us about games for impact, games in the classroom, Nordic LARP, and Type 2 Fun. open.spotify.com/episode/7FKzes…

Hello! @Pixelfaded, @SWBdejong, and myself have started a YouTube Channel to host some of our projects. We're hosting the Humour and Games Podcast we've made with @TAG_News, and Andrei and I are doing a couple podcasts on games every week to start. youtube.com/channel/UCyf1M…

Can't wait for #GAMERella2022 to start?! 🤩 Neither can we! In the meantime, why not check out our *free* online workshops and learn some game-making skills you can use during the jam! 👩🏾‍💻 Watch them here: tag.hexagram.ca/gamerella/work…

We're getting ready! Are you?

Interviews, chats, and conversations. We are gearing up for a second season filled with some extra special side episodes. So stay tuned.

Also, if you think this game is for you, here's their kickstarter! kickstarter.com/projects/allis…

Hi folks! We have a special offseason episode for you! @prairieeyes and @doradee_ are here to talk about their upcoming game Alchemistresses. If you're interested in learning more about the world of magical girls, queerness and feelings, tune in! open.spotify.com/episode/07wj5e…

👀 Any of them want to chat?

@osamadorias The pleasure was ours!

@GamesAndHumour It was a pleasure speaking to you! Thank you for having me ♥

We're past our intended release date, but even technical issues can't keep us down. In this season finale, we had the privilege of talking with @osamadorias ! Tune in to learn more about how humour is part of the design process at larger studios. open.spotify.com/episode/4MajPi…

It's a New Year and we are ramping up to a new Season. If you have thoughts around humour and games (or humour and media more broadly) we would love to have you on an episode.

Big thanks to Dr. Ida Toft for taking the time to chat with us and a bit CONGRATULATIONS on them passing their defense this week!

This week we share our interview with Dr. Ida Toft. We discuss the notion of humour for creative designers and who we might be making jokes for. Check it out here: open.spotify.com/episode/58RnRa…
