Episode 15: Goodbye (For Now) 2:27:04

9M ago2:27:04

2:27:04

We begin this episode with a little bit of sad news: the Indiescovery podcast is going on hiatus, due to the fact that Rachel and Rebecca are both leaving Rock Paper Shotgun for pastures new. However, there's no need to be too downhearted, as your favourite indie-loving trio has every intention of continuing to collaborate on video game-related pro…

Episode 14: A Very Early Halloween Special 1:57:18

10M ago1:57:18

1:57:18

This episode it's Halloween in July, as Indiescovery sets out to answer our listeners' most burning question: "Now that Rachel and Liam have both had a turn, when does Rebecca get her main character moment?" It starts now, friends, as your resident horror maven takes you on a whistle-stop tour of her favourite indie horror games, ranging from the s…

Episode 13: Our favourite indie games from Not-E3 2023 1:47:57

10M ago1:47:57

1:47:57

We begin this episode talking about ghosts, because of course we do. We also chat about E3's influence and our relationship with it as both fans and games journalists, but honestly that bit isn't nearly exciting as when we're chatting about spooky things that have happened to us. We eventually remember what this podcast is actually about, quickly m…

Episode 12: The ultimate indie game pub crawl 2:03:38

11M ago2:03:38

2:03:38

This episode is roughly structured as a pub-crawling night out, starting with who we're texting to hang with and who isn't making it past pre-drinks, bless 'em. We mention a lot of characters, including expert mixologist Donovan from The Red Strings Club who would be whipping us up some mean martinis, and the entire gang from Monster Prom (guess wh…

Episode 11: Our favourite indie games of 2023 so far 2:11:00

11M ago2:11:00

2:11:00

Somehow it's June already, which means it's time for the Indiescovery crew to suppress our existential dread at the fleetingness of existence and take a look at our favourite indie games from the first (almost) half of 2023! Don't worry, we very quickly realise that June has such a slammed line-up we can probably give it a best-games episode all of…

Episode 10: The Indievision Song Contest 1:41:57

12M ago1:41:57

1:41:57

Whoooo we’re officially in the double-digits gang! We’ve somehow managed to make it to episode 10 of Indiescovery without going completely feral and wrecking the joint. I say that, but this week’s episode is a little, shall we say, unhinged? Rebecca, Liam, and Rachel hadn’t really had a proper chat all week so there’s a lot of Friday energy and cat…

Episode 9: Our Steam-y confessions 1:50:26

12M ago1:50:26

1:50:26

We’re one episode away from being in the double digits, folks! Whoop! But for now, let’s dive into episode nine of Indiescovery. Kicking off the episode we actually have a special guest (and definitely not one of Liam’s many personas), it’s Father Dringus Godliman! The Father guides the Indiescovery gang to a totally real and not metaphysical confe…

Episode 8: The gang plays Dredge, Terra Nil, Storyteller & Romancelvania 1:46:56

1y ago1:46:56

1:46:56

This week on Indiescovery it's a game review bonanza! Rachel has been playing Storyteller, and despite feeling like she already experienced everything its inventive puzzle mechanics had to offer during its Steam Next Fest demo last year, she still had a great time seeing it through. Liam had similarly thoughts about Terra Nil, feeling that its earl…

Episode 7: The best indies we played at PAX East 2023 1:48:03

1y ago1:48:03

1:48:03

It's episode seven of Indiescovery and this week, wow, the gang is tired. With a busy four days in Boston for PAX East, Rachel and Liam's brains are basically mush, so Rebecca - an absolute angel - graciously said she could host a special PAX East episode where she chats with Liam and Rachel about the indies they saw on the show floor as they despe…

Episode 6: What the heck is an indie game anyway? 1:21:49

1y ago1:21:49

1:21:49

In our sixth episode, we belatedly turn our attention to the question of just what the heck we're doing here anyway. The issue of "what makes an indie game an indie game?" is full of twists and turns, and nobody has ever really come up with an answer that covers all the bases. Lucky for us, that's not really what we're talking about here, although …

Episode 5: Our favourite indie games of all time 1:43:16

1:43:16

It’s episode five of Indiescovery and we'd like our listeners to get to know us a little better, so this week we've picked our ultimate favourite indie games and then had a big old natter about them. Talking about all our favourite games would take us into 3023, so we’ve kept it to two games per person, which actually wasn’t as hard as we thought i…

It’s episode four of RPS’ indie podcast Indiescovery and this week the team got into the Valentine's Day spirit and had a long chat about our favourite indie game romances (any excuse to gush about how hot the characters are in Hades, really). We get gabbing about our favourite game OTPs, the fabulous representation of queer romances in indies, and…

Proving that our ability to organise recording an episode wasn't some sort of one-off fluke, the Indiescovery crew are back! Indiescovery Episode 2: Electric Boogaloo begins with a nice little chat about what we've all been playing since we got back from our Christmas hols. Rebecca extols the virtues of Tiny Life, a pixel art spiritual successor to…

1:14:30

Back in December, the Indiescovery crew got together to record a Christmas-themed test episode for our new podcast, with the idea of launching the show properly in January. Well, in the end we loved our "unreleased pilot" so much that we decided to release it anyway. Christmas episodes in mid-January may not be the norm, but this kind of random sil…
