    Great podcast, as always. I have to be honest I found some of those previous-job stories to be a little depressing, especially since I’m looking for work right now myself!

    GFW radio stories repackaged as high quality radio worthy production. Love it.

    Great job once again guys. Shawn Elliott has always been a terrific games journalist, and you can really tell that he’s back in his element getting these fresh insights into the Irrational Studio. Shawn has a great rapport with Ken Levine and those interviews are the frosting on the podcast cake.

    Man, I expected “dog in a wheelchair” to come up in the quick list of past jobs. What restraint.

    Awesome episode. Love hearing about where you guys worked at before Irrational Games. Also, I remember back on GFW Radio Shawn mentioned he pursued a Studio Art degree before he switched to journalism. I always wanted to hear more about it and it be nice to hear your views on art.

    A SEGA Master System. Is it possible that there’s another reason to love Mr. Ken Levine? Old school SEGA fanboys salute you, sir.

    I worked at a big game retail chain, and all those stories about ridiculous customers made my day. Another great podcast!

    These are really great, I love the ‘life well wasted’ style, too bad they are rather short but I guess it’s much more work making these than a normal podcast. Good job, gimme more !

    Awesome podcast. Levine’s story about doing the sales job resonated a lot with me, because I’m doing the same thing now. Gotta keep in mind where my passions lie!
