The Rather Be Playing podcast is the central component of the site. It’s what we started with and everything we’d done since has to been to support it. It’s three guys, Josh, Elliot, and Stevo, who love playing games. We have too many to play and too little time, and we figured we’re probably not the only ones. So we took our conversations about games to the podwaves in hopes that we might reach people in a similar conundrum: how do you play games as a grown-up?
We strive above all else to have fun, and we hope you’re having fun too. Games are great and there are so many to play, so let’s just play them and have a laugh while we do it. So if you enjoy what you hear, spread the word, tell your friends, subscribe on any of our various services, and rate us. It’s the only way we grow and get the word out, so every little bit means everything to us.
Thanks for listening!
