Truck freaks Unite!

As the title implies, I work a very long, grueling job and these podcasts help me learn about game studies and philosophies I would never had crossed paths with otherwise. Thanks Ranged Touch! As an added bonus, I sound like a genius next to my Fox News educated parents. ;)

This show rips

Why did Mike Davis call his book City Of Quartz and not The SoCal Is Predicated On Its Exclusions?

Nich LM ,

Very accessible

It took me a long time to start listening to this because I assumed I was too dumb, but it turns out I’m exactly the kind of dummy this show is for!
