This episode is with the absolutely wonderful Simon Parkin!

Simon is a journalist, non-fiction writer and games critic. He also hosts the podcast My Perfect Console, where guests are invited to choose five games that are important to them to form their ideal fictional console.

As one of gaming’s best writers, it was an absolute pleasure to have someone like Simon appear on the show. We had a fantastic chat in Loading Bar Stoke Newington about writing both for games and away from games, how Simon picks a topic for his non-fiction books, the way games journalism has changed over the years, Simon’s love for writing and how he got into the industry, and many other little tangents and fun topics along the way.

Simon is wonderful and it was a delight to sit with him of an afternoon and get into some juicy topics. He’s great company and the episode is excellent as a result.

Thank you so much for listening, follow me over at @garydooton and @mgifshow. Stay subbed, stay following!

Lots of Love,

Gary x
