Description

Jenny Owen Youngs is coping with life transitions by getting lost in a whole variety of worlds.
Jenny Owen Youngs' most recent EP is It's Dangerous to Go Alone. She hosts the podcasts Buffering the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars Investigations.
Here's some stuff we talked about:

Our Feelings

"That Josh Whedon stuff that went down"

Tropes Vs. Women in Video Games


Pac-Man is maybe the clearest metaphor for modern life as we know it

Jenny is deep in The Witcher 3


When Jenny's brain won't shut up, Skyrim makes everything chill out

"Our princess is in another castle!"

That Super Mario Bros. movie where Mario is from Brooklyn

Xalavier Nelson's episode from last season

Dragonborn (ft. John Mark Nelson)


Link is quite androgenous


Fallout 4 is darker and gunnier than Jenny would prefer

"This podcast is tender without being twee, the kind of soft and open that isn’t an aesthetic, just a genuine question. It’s a special vibe that gives me games discourse nostalgia..." - Sarah Elmaleh, Video Game Voice Actor and Director "It reminds me of my most cherished conversations with other game makers." - Hayden Scott-Baron, Senior game designer at ustwo Games Video Game Feelings is an interview podcast about the way video games make us feel, and the reasons we play them. Each week, host Richard Clark speaks to a video game insider to delve into their hearts and minds and discover the various ways video games make us feel. You'll love this series of conversations with video game developers, journalists, and personalities where we explore why open-world games can feel so lonely, why hype can ruin a video game experience, or what video games can teach us about grief.
