Level 1 - Pilot

Hosted by Riley Grimes, the Dear Gaming Podcast is a weekly conversation for anyone who thinks about video games beyond the screen. This isn't just a rundown of headlines or a dry critique of mechanics. Instead, it's a compact, curated space where the culture, the unexpected stories, and the personal impact of gaming take center stage. Each episode feels like catching up with a knowledgeable friend who sifts through the noise to find what's genuinely interesting. You'll hear thoughtful discussions on new releases and timeless classics, but also deep dives into the fascinating tales from development history, the evolving landscape of the industry, and how games intersect with everything else. The tone is engaged and personal, avoiding both hype and cynicism. It’s for listeners who want their gaming podcast to feel like a substantive dialogue, one that respects your time and intelligence while feeding your curiosity. Every week, Riley compresses a wide world of pixels and passion into a single, digestible, and always human episode.
