Yesterday I was on NPR’s Talk of the Nation, discussing games about political and social issues. Here’s their blurb:
Today’s video games are moving beyond violence and sports. New games provide chances to play middle-east peacemaker or solve problems regarding immigration or food safety. Ian Bogost, creator of these games, discusses why he makes games that go beyond entertainment to education, advocacy and art.
I’ve been on NPR several times, It was the first time I’d been on a segment with call-ins. The callers were all very positive and brought up some examples we didn’t get to discuss in the (shortish) talk itself.
You can listen to the recorded version of the broadcast on NPR’s website.
