Podcasts you should listen to
You really should.
These are a few of the podcasts that i regularly listen to. I’m not a huge gamer, but i do enjoy the odd bit of Xbox 360 now and again. I am however very interested in the gaming industry. Maybe it’s because of the particulars of the industry (young people, cutting edge tech, always been connected and online) but i really like how they have embraced social media and the communities that surround their games. I feel that there is lots to learn from them, they have been doing, what most companies are just now starting to discuss, for years.
