Video Game Violence Podcast

Here is Drew and my podcast on the subject of video game violence:

Podcast

In looking through the syllabus, video game culture and criticism of video games and their effects on people (particularly youth) struck us as an interesting topic.  There is a lot of research currently being done on this topic, and very strongly outspoken critics and supporters of video games.  A topic that is of immediate relevance to most college students and one of the more heated debates in recent history relating to digital media seemed like the perfect subject for a podcast in which Drew and Nick discuss the research and arguments presented by both sides of this issue.  Enjoy!
