IRL Video version over on the YouTube

This is a special one! The IRL edition of the podcast was recorded in front of a live studio audience (producer Jack) in Vienna! Jess and Kat took a minute away from the Christmas markets to talk about making friends online, the dangers of parasocial behaviour and what they've learned from their good and bad experiences on Twitch and beyond.

Please note: this was recorded in November but editing was delayed by an international move, so bear with us while we get back into the swing of things.

Gaming news 3:45

Discussing the Video Game Awards nominees (this was recorded before the ceremony!), the controversy over Dave the Diver being nominated for Best Independent Game, and some Twitter drama over the role of influencers in marketing video games. Journalist Jess vs Influencer Kat: who will win? Both! Because we're all friends here.
