Welcome to Read/Watch/Play, a biweekly podcast about books, movies, and games. It's a veritable cornucopia of culture. A culture-copia, if you will. For each series of episodes, we'll pick a theme, exemplified by one book, one movie, and one game. We'll spend one episode discussing each piece of media on its own, then swing back to discuss all three in relation to the theme as a whole. Topics are announced a month in advance, if you'd like to read/watch/play along with us. If you'd rather not, that's cool too; the beginning of every episode is totally spoiler-free. It's like a super-relaxed book club, but then also two other clubs, which are about movies and games instead of books. Whether you're in it for the long haul or just sticking around until the spoiler break, we hope you enjoy the show as much as we enjoy making it.
