Hidden Levels
Wonderfully nerdy and insightful podcast series on how video games left the arcade and started reshaping the real world. My favourite episodes so far: The first one about an iconic early basketball game that changed the role of voice acting for games, and how TV commentators talk (boomshakalaka!). And episode 4 where we learn about a man who staged Hamlet inside Grand Theft Auto, and his wife who produced a documentary about it – also filmed entirely inside the game.
From Weekly Filet #548, in October 2025.
