Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for videogames. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!

In this episode of Deep Listens we discuss how platonic relationships work in Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us, and The Walking Dead Season 1. We explore how each of the games approach non-romantic relationships from a technical perspective and how each of the relationships in the game unfold. We also discuss why the relationships in each game seem to play out so similarly. We also tak a listener email and discuss radio in Fallout 3 and some games that stood out to us from E3.
