Dead Pundits Society

Pokemon, Candy Crush, PlayStation -- Oh my! With 50% of the world's population now involved in some form of gaming, we can no longer relegate this form of entertainment to the nerdy, subcultural backwaters. Joining me for my first installment of Hot Takes & Field Notes is Alfie Bown, Co-Editor of Hong Kong Review of Books, and the author of ENJOYING IT: CANDY CRUSH AND CAPITALISM (2015) and the forthcoming THE PLAYSTATION DREAMWORLD (2017). We talk about the politics of enjoyments, whether or not I should feel guilty about playing Pokemon, and so much more. ****This is a free teaser of the full episode.
