What are your favorite podcasts about indie game design/development?


With Ludum Dare coming up this weekend, I decided to get into game development again after a 3 year break. So I'm looking for good podcasts to listen to to get back into the field. Cheers!

The below are not necessarily indie/solo focused, but interesting nonetheless.

- Sausage Factory by Cane & Rinse: https://caneandrinse.com/category/sausage-factory/

- Industry & analysis: https://twitter.com/unboxingpod

- Simon Carless from GameDiscoverCo experimented with a podcast (Tales From GameDiscoveryLand), and I really want him to continue: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tales-from-gamediscove...

- Designer Notes: https://www.designer-notes.com/category/podcast/ (I'm currently working my way through the series)

There are a whole bunch of others which I listen to on and off (see screenshot below), but the above stand out for me.

I really enjoy the Eggplant podcast. Early episodes are Spelunky/roguelike focused, but they've branched out a ton since then. https://eggplant.show/

I loved 'Humans Who Make Games' - there haven't been any new ones in quite some time but the old ones have interviews with Edmund McMillen, Derek Yu, Alex Preston and Kim Swift amongst others
