I'm doing a blogpost a month this year and it's the end of the month and I need something to write about! Luckily GAMES STUDIES STUDY BUDDIES, one of my favorite podcasts, released a new episode today, and I listened to it while working on my project, and can write about that!
It's a podcast about making academic books on games studies accessible. I wrote down every scholar (etc) they mentioned or cited in this episode, though, (just got curious when they mentioned my boy Lévi-Strauss and decided to go back to the top and take notes this time,) and it's still... quite academic.
Jaroslav Švelch- the book they did this month is Player vs Monster, instead of his Gaming the Iron Curtain, because it's shorter and they have to read like four books a month across their various podcasts. Maybe someday.
Katherine Isbister- How Games Move Us
Kyra D. Gaunt- never mentioned by name, but the catchphrase of the podcast, "the social is predicated on its exclusions," is from the book The Games Black Girls Play, and it gets discussed several times throughout the beginning of the episode.
