Description

With so many new articles coming out each month, who has time to read them all? Join Dr. Alex Layne and Dr. Cody Reimer as we cover one article in the academic field of Game Studies in 20 minutes or less on each episode (or at least we try!). Maybe you’re an academic looking for a way to stay current in the field while also spending time on the treadmill. Maybe you’re an avid gamer and theorycrafter working on expanding your knowledge of game studies. Either way, listen in and listen up.
