In this week's episode of Indie Pod, we talk about dumb baby names, Josh killing his New Years' resolution, and the best-selling Indies on the Nintendo Switch. We also mix up the formula of the show by cutting out God Bless The Crowd and instead replacing it with an Indie Games Shout Out. And lastly, we answer all of your ridiculous listener questions.

If you love Indie Games and want to stay informed, or better yet entertained, be sure to tune in each and every Friday for new episodes of Indie Pod. In which we run you through all the news surrounding the world of Indie Game Development, as well as check out Indies over on crowdfunding sites, answer your listener questions, and even interview a developer or two.

In this week's developer interview, Josh sits down with Sérgio Gil, the co-founder of code three fifty one, the team behind the upcoming title known as Project Haven.

In this week's developer interview, Josh sat down with Charles Wolf, a music composer who recently got into the gaming industry. He went to school for music but realized that academia wasn't the right place for him because he always wanted to create new projects rather than each other in a very repetitive fashion. We discuss his journey and process to creating music for a game and who his ideal team to work for would be.
