Polygamer #35: Susan Arendt of Take This

Hosted by Ken Gagne of Gamebits, Polygamer explores the vital conversations around representation, access, and fairness within the world of video games.

Each episode brings forward voices often left out of the mainstream discussion, from developers and critics to scholars and community advocates, all sharing their experiences and insights. You'll hear candid interviews that tackle topics like inclusive character design, workplace equity, mental health in gaming communities, and the intersection of play with broader social issues. Tuning into this podcast means moving beyond the surface to understand how games can both reflect and challenge our world, making for a richer, more critical engagement with the medium. For anyone who believes games are for everyone, Polygamer offers essential listening that informs and inspires, fostering a more equitable landscape for players and creators alike.
