Games as a Podcast
We are two SEGA alums who love talking about the past, present and future of games and the industry that makes them. Each week we explore a gaming topic, often mixing in our perspectives from our time at Big Blue and beyond. Some weeks we’ll have a guest, usually someone whose career has crossed ours, and talk about their own experiences and perspectives.

Designing with Empathy in Games
Game designer Katina Noonan joins the show to talk about building games with empathy, intention, and awareness. From her work on titles like Game of War and Castle Story to broader reflections on representation, community building, and leadership as a woman in games, Katina brings hard-won insights and a clear-eyed look at what it means to create experiences that welcome everyone. The conversation also dives into free-to-play monetization ethics, allyship, and what it takes to sustain a meaningful career in game design.
