無料で聴く

The Summoning Hour is an everything-gaming podcast and live show hosted by Joe “Rakaul” Belousek, a veteran game producer exploring games and the people who make, play, study, and love them.

From developer interviews and roundtables to gameplay streams, solo development sessions, and live whiteboard breakdowns, the show looks at games from every angle. Sometimes that means talking with industry guests. Sometimes it means breaking down a feature, reviewing an indie game, designing something from scratch, or thinking out loud about how games actually get made.

The Summoning Hour is analytical and educational, but still cozy, conversational, and approachable. It is for aspiring developers, curious players, indie creators, and anyone who wants deeper conversations about games without losing the joy of why we play in the first place.

At its heart, this show is for the love of the game, whatever your game is.

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and Deezer. Watch live streams on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

    Episode 055 - Eugene Frier, Director of Esports & Gaming of Texas Wesleyan University
    2019/06/24

    OU's Moog second name drop on Twitter brought me to Eugene Frier of Texas Wesleyan University. Probably the smallest school I've talked to but with an attitude for esports as some of the major contenders. Eugene and I speak towards what it means to be building an esports program, a community and even get our nerd on reminiscing about vanilla World of Warcraft.

    This podcast goes on to prove that anyone and everyone can be involved in esports and it is to the benefit of schools, professional esports and the professional growth of students. Give it a listen and share your feedback!
