In this episode of Podcast Book Club, our podcast professionals investigate the intersection of sport and video games (and podcasting, I suppose). With their helmets and padding on, they’re diving into an episode of ESPN’s podcast 30 for 30, entitled Madden’s Game. Sports podcast fans, this one is for you.
The episode takes a look at the development of the massively popular American football video game, from its early years as an overly ambitious PC program to its current number-one slot in game consoles. How did they make the game? How involved was John Madden really? Why is Will Wheaton, that precocious kid from Star Trek, hosting?
The team discusses the power of narrative storytelling in podcasting, choosing a great podcast host, and how to make difficult editing decisions in post-production.
This episode of Podcast Book Club is hosted by Chase Souder, who is joined by podcast producers Elizabeth Amos and Zoe Anderson, and audio engineers Alex Rose and Alex Bennett.
