Welcome to Those Catholic Gamers

This is a podcast about intersection of video games and the Catholic faith. While we are not professional philosophers, theologians, or game designers, we do love to discuss these topics. The aim of the podcast is to invite both gamers and non-gamers alike to the dialog of faith and entertainment.

We seek to have these dialogs through different structured conversations. These conversations are categorized into reviews, both with newer games and retrospectives, and in in-depth discussions on aspects such as game design, themes, genres, and so on, all with a Catholic world view.
