In this episode of Reuben's Podcast, we speak with Bhamini Lakshminarayan, co-founder of Bigfatphoenix Interactive, a game design studio behind Fairside Stories, a game about identity created for kids aged 8-12. We explore Bhamini's life over the last decade, including her move to the US, her recognition of privilege, and her exploration of different versions of feminism. We also delve into why Bhamini decided to work at the intersection of education and entertainment, her time working at ed-tech startups and lessons in IP and worldbuilding, how games could be the answer to fixing school and education, and her experience starting a company. Recorded in May 2023
