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 video games. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!

In this episode Gino, Billy, and Pete discuss Saints Row: the Third and all the insanity therein. We discuss the game's wild opening, rough first third, and excellent back half. We dive deep into the game's worst mission, the Ho Boat, and examine how surprisingly excellent the game's satire of militarized policing is 7 years after its release. Pete even brings some moral philosophy to the topic by examining the game through the perspective of Foucault.
