SuperCoolCastJessica Saunders, Salix GamesWay back when, in May 2016, I was due to host a Rocket Jump Event in Guildford. At the last minute I had a message from the organiser, Dan, to let me know that the headlining speaker had pulled out at the last minute and did I know of anyone that may be able to take their place. With just a few days to go until the event itself, I started racking my brains. I had been kicking around the idea of starting a podcast... and when I started to think about whether it would be possible to trial run...

SuperCoolCastEp 15: Lauran Carter, Xbox HQYou asked for it - or at least some of you did - and there's a good chance you're gonna regret it because here we are... the interviewer becomes the interviewee... Thankfully I have been in the industry nearly a decade so I have experience to draw on and stories to tell: How I broke into games, how I got into community, mental health, Lionhead (of course, like I can stop talking about that ;)). There's some good advice buried in there somewhere... I hope you find it :P

SuperCoolCastEp 12: Charles Griffiths, Cavalier Game StudiosThis is easily one of the most informative (and subsequently longest) episodes I have ever recorded - and that is entirely down to Chuck and how unbelievably willing he was to impart his advice and experiences from his years in the games industry. It's a fascinating tumble through starting out, university, interviews, first jobs, big decisions and making the right choices for you and for games. I honestly learnt so much, and although the ramble chat is long I could have quite easily enjoyed longer. In fact, I didn't get the chance to ask Chuck some of...

It covers not one but 2 major British games companies being bought by EVEN bigger ones - plus a tale of one of those studios that I didn't even know about! Iain makes a point of not just talking about the day to day work, but the feeling attached to each studio - which I something I have a lot of time for. Iain takes the time to talk in detail about some of the features he's dreamt up and implemented, and I imagine many...

Â Ben's journey in the industry is a romp through studios and games that we all know and love - from his early career at Rebellion Studio to smashing the App Store charts with a few of his own games - he's very much forged his own path and has made a...

SuperCoolCastBonus Episode: 2016 GOTY with Lions!Wooohooooo! Bonus episode, everyone! I spent my New Years Eve with some of my nearest and dearest Lionhead family, so we felt like it was the PERFECT opportunity to sit down and reminisce about our favourite games of 2016... or at least 'favourite games we PLAYED in 2016' ;)  It is a ramble chat, we do talk over each other and go off piste a little but it was great fun and some AWESOME games were discussed. I love listening to developers talk about the games they love to play and why, so hopefully this will be a f...

He just did it - and not only did he do it, he did it with the team who created one of the games industries most loved characters in the sleepy little town of Guildford...  The story of Dan's career is a fascinating one, and one that I hope will inspire thos...

From starting out working behind the scenes in television - not to mention a stint working on Big Brother - to ending up in Video Games, David talks about some of the roles he's had to date and the games he loves the most... and there's even a small mention of our beloved Fable Legends. RIP. For those looking to...

SuperCoolCastEp 6: Cherie Davidson, Media MoleculeLet me paint you a little picture... It was a cold evening in April 2016. Lionhead had closed its doors for the last time and a sorry looking bunch of Lions dragged themselves out into Guildford a for commiseratory pint (or two ;) ) As you can imagine, I was heart broken. In the last pub stop of the night, a delightful Australian girl came up to me and said "I love your hair" and it was enough to make me feel a little less sad - the thought that someone I didn't know had taken the time...
