This month on Currently Playing, Daniel chats with an old friend named Glen who happens to be a well respected evolutionary biologist but also is a lifelong fan of videogames. Glen has been obsessively playing Vampire Survivors lately and though he really loves the game, he also wishes it didn't keep crashing on his phone. Later in the show, Daniel recaps his experience with playing the Stanley Parable, before Glen challenges Daniel to play Streets of Rage 4. At the end of the show, in lieu of a standard plug, Glen makes a reasoned and well-informed plea to the public to educate themselves about the role of politics in science.
