About A People’s History of Video Game Development

The history of video games through the lens of everyday developers. We cover the obscure, unpublished, forgotten, and even a few well-known games, but always through the perspective of people who were working hard to make them happen. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a developer, or about what happened behind the scenes of your favorite games, this podcast is for you.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
