ABOUT THE HOST:

NO CARTRIDGE (www.no-cartridge.net) is a podcast that attempts to rethink the landscape of video game criticism by considering gaming from a leftist perspective. Hosts Trevor and Olivia talk with people from across the spectrum of the video game world, from designers to marketers to journalists and, most importantly, to fans. We go beyond simple reviews and discussions of mechanical and graphical innovation, providing the opportunity to talk about experiences and politics from a new perspective.
