The official podcast for GameDeveloper.com brings you illuminating conversation and commentary from brilliant people in the video game industry. 

Hosted by senior editor Bryant Francis, the Game Developer podcast is a bi-weekly interview show chronicling the triumphs, catastrophes, and everything in-between of game development, sharing lessons and strategies fellow developers can use to hone their craft.
