Battle of the Podcasts: Wedding Edition!
When it comes to a wedding guestlist people always ask if you have a big family but they never ask how podcasts you’ve done.

Thrilled to have worked with so many talented people and even more thrilled to get to call so many of them friends.

The full Indie Council is uniquely unified this week.
We pick apart the Steam and Itch.io controversies, and every member has some choice words.

Also, we all love a game that's been sadly flying under the radar: And Roger.

Nintendo self publishes and isn’t owned by anyone so they’re technically indie. Have a great day.

Are they useful? How many is too many? And why don't puzzle games get due respect?
