What is Post Games?
Post Games is a weekly podcast about why and how we love video games, each episode digging into an important, surprising, or underreported topic.
Weekly NPR-style interviews
Scripted segments edited for concision and spliced with good music
Famous industry guests, from major gaming execs like the CEO of Atari to beloved YouTubers like Dunkey
All that and more in 90 minutes or less — so you don’t get buried by a backlog!

Who is the host of Post Games?
I’m Chris Plante. Alongside hosting Post Games, I’m co-host of The Besties/The Resties and co-founder and former editor-in-chief of Polygon. I’m also the editor of Quest: The Roleplaying Game for Everyone, and I created NYU Game Center’s Intro to Games Journalism. I was previously the Culture Editor of The Verge, and my writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, MTV, and a forgotten iPad-only magazine called The Daily.
