In episode 54, we discuss how social media games are impacting our definitions of gaming and gamers. We chat with Sharon Browning, a writer for the site, who recently wrote a series of articles about this very topic. Check out her articles and our discussion in the episode.
This week is a big one for Game on Girl… Rhonda and I will be meeting in just a few short days in Boston for PAX East! If you’re going to be in town for the con, give us a shout out and make sure to attend our panel on Friday at 5:30 in the Sphinx Theater! Be there to find out more about your gamer type!

To continue the conversations about gender and gaming that Regina started during her research, she started a podcast called Game on Girl. Called the “NPR of game podcasts” by Chris Brown of The Married Gamers, the podcast features women involved in the game industry, and tackles some of the complicated issues in the gaming community. Season 2 began in the spring of 2018 and will premiere new episodes monthly.
