About This Podcast

Hello friends old and new! Welcome to Stupid Little Games, a podcast where we talk abut all things gaming from the inside out. Each week, I (Jess Pardue) sit down with an insider from various parts of the gaming industry, from indie to AAA. We talk about our current gaming obsessions, tell stories from projects past and present, and then we’ll play a Stupid Little Game that I write especially for each guest, all with a splash of humor and whimsy. If you’re an industry veteran yearning to hear stories from fellow devs, new to the industry and looking to make your mark, or just someone who loves video games, then this is the show for you!
