They Create Worlds Podcast

The games we love reveal something true about who we are, how we live, what we value, and about the world that made them. They Create Worlds is a podcast about the people, technology, and forces that built the video game industry.

Each episode digs into where games came from, who made them, and why they were made the way they were. Business decisions, technological shifts, and creative choices all shaped what ended up on screen, and the show covers all of it together, not just one piece in isolation.

History turns out to be less settled than it looks, so the show follows the creative and business forces that pushed and pulled on each other, and uncovers the human stories that lie beneath the games so many people around the world enjoy.

Hosted by Alex Smith and Jeffrey Daum, new episodes are released twice a month.
