episode Ellie Harwood on why gaming still has a toxic problem for women cover

Description

Ellie Harwood co-hosts Extremely Casual Gamers, a podcast she started with friends Chris Key and Guy Mansell in 2023 to normalise gaming and strip away its stigma. She's also part of Viva La Dirt League, the Auckland-based YouTube sketch comedy group built around gaming that has millions of followers internationally yet remains little-known at home. Harwood talks about stepping away from gaming as a teenager because it felt coded male, the toxicity that still greets women's voices in online lobbies, and why getting more women into game development could change the kinds of games that get made.
