In A Very Special Episode, Andy, Michael and Michael were thrilled to be the guests of Ian Hughes on an unscripted webinar on the Games At Work podcast. Ian is the Chair of the BCS IT Animation and Games Development Specialist Group. The video webinar was recorded Monday, 12 December, and this is the audio feed of the video for the Games At Work listening audience. If you’d like to see why the cohosts say that they have “faces for radio”, have a look at the YouTube recording in the show notes below!

In this 58 minute free ranging conversation, Ian leads the discussion with the Games At Work cohosts, getting a detailed look at the origin story and what it takes to make a podcast that has continued weekly for nearly a decade. Michael, Andy and Michael each share personal insights about the podcast, guests that have come on the show (such as Ian himself!), and what makes the endeavor tick. Spoiler alert: it is a combination of curiosity, dedication and camaraderie that make the difference for this podcast.
