Welcome to The Inaugural Post Games Thanksgiving Special!

I’ve invited 19 people from across video games to share what they’re thankful for. They could celebrate a game, a person, a place, a trend, an idea, or whatever else inspires them. Our guests come from across the entertainment and media industries, including award-winning indie game designers, a former executive from a AAA publisher, brilliant text-based critics, beloved audio-only hosts, a contract-securing union leader, and a good ol' fashioned movie star.

 Here's the party's guest list!

• Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon
• Kirk Hamilton
• Christian Donlan
• Jenny Jiao-Hsia
• Lucy James
• Austin Walker
• Chris Novak
• Tina Sanchez O’Hara
• Blessing Adeoye Jr.
• Sarah Elmahleh
• Giovanni Colantonio
• Najay Greenidge
• Chris Bratt
• Nina Freeman
• Frank Lantz
• Kitty Calis and Jan Willem Nijman
• Evan Narcisse

Because this episode is a holiday special, and because we have so many guests, there are no acts and no news of the week. Instead, what follows are nearly twenty notes of gratitude from our brilliant guests. And Patreon subscribers get an extra-long personal note from me, in which I talk about what I’m grateful for this year: the games, the movies, the books, the music, the people, and most importantly, the opportunity to do this show.

We have so many delicious dishes to plop on your plate, so let’s work our way around the buffet!
