Podcasts about games we play

This week, we're scratching The Itch for a class reunion! The Itch's Favorite Punk Band™ Winona Fighter is about to head out on the idobi Radio Summer School tour with Honey Revenge, South Arcade, Games We Play, and Chase Petra. And just in time to hit the road, they dropped a new single, "Bombs Away," their first new music since both versions of last year's Itch Album of the Year My Apologies to the Chef. Lead lady Coco Kinnon joins the three-timer's club to talk about the tour, the single, and how they proved to themselves what they're capable of with their wild, life-changing 2025. Plus, we discuss the band's return to Warped Tour, their desire to speak to political frustration across ideologies, their new PG and not-so-PG t-shirts, and how a date night can lead to an acoustic reimagining of an entire album. As always with Winona F'n Fighter, this one's a good time. Enjoy. Listen to The Itch Rock Radio Show Rock with us every Sunday night from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM in St. Louis. Outside the area?

In this episode of You Make The Scene, we sit down with Emmyn, better known as Games We Play, for a conversation that covers the highs, lows, and lessons learned throughout his career so far.We talk about what it was like signing to what many artists would consider a dream label, while also recognizing that success doesn't always arrive when you're fully prepared for it. Emmyn opens up about navigating those opportunities, learning from the experience, and figuring out who he wanted to be as an artist along the way.The conversation also dives into touring with some major names, the realities of life on the road, and how those experiences helped shape both his perspective and his music. One of the most interesting parts of the discussion centers around getting back to his roots and rediscovering the artist he wanted to be. Rather than chasing trends or expectations, Emmyn shares how he's focused on creating music that his 14-year-old self would be proud of, both sonically and lyrically.We also talk about the upcoming Summer School Tour, what fans can expect from the experience, and how Games We Play continues to evolve while staying true to the spirit that got him into music in the first place.It's an honest, funny, and insightful conversation about growth, self-discovery, and finding your way back to what made you fall in love with music from the start.

On this, our 321st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss AI, Iran, Trump, emergencies in the state of Washington, and stories from the Covid era. Anthropic, which makes Claude, announced that they are halting the release of their latest model due to unexpected capacities it has revealed. We discuss trade-offs, exploration, and game theory as they pertain to bats and planes, cats and humans, and LLMs. Then: did Trump make a genocidal threat against Iran? And: what emergency in the state of Washington could possibly apply to college tuition, out-of-state militias, accurate representation of sex on government IDs, and responding to pandemics? Answer: all the legislature has to do to make their ideas referendum-proof is declare that they are responding to an emergency—they do not even have to say what the emergency is. Finally: our memories of the Covid Era have begun to fade and morph, but it is important that we keep them alive.*****Our sponsors:Xlear: Xylitol nasal spray that acts as prophylaxis against respiratory illnesses by reducing the stickiness of bacteria and viruses.

We all have opinions … but criticism can become a habit that hurts the people we love most. Jesus had a lot to say about judging others. So when is it helpful, and when is it harmful? How do you want to be treated when you're the one who's struggling?

The Games We Play With Sponsors is one of the topics from a 17 part workshop conducted by Tim M, he has done a large number of really interesting workshops over the last 10+ years on a number of different topics.

Comparison doesn't just steal your joy; it quietly rewrites your identity. Have you been chasing someone else's life instead of living the one God gave you? What might envy be costing you more than you realize?

Blame is easy … responsibility takes strength. What if the biggest breakthrough in your life is on the other side of owning your part? Where have you been tempted to point the finger instead of taking the next step?

What if the fastest way to build stronger relationships isn't winning arguments, but choosing honor? When we play the honor game, everybody wins. Who in your life needs honor from you right now?

Most of us love a good competition. But what happens when we bring competition into our relationships? The truth is, nobody really wins. But here’s the good news: there’s one game you can bring into your relationships that has the power to change everything—for the better.

Alexander Beiner joins Psychedelics Today to explore how psychedelics, culture, and power shape each other. A writer, facilitator, and co founder of the conference Breaking Convention and the media platform KAINOS, he has spent years thinking about how psychedelic experiences ripple into politics, economics, conflict, and community. In this episode, he and Joe trace the path from early internet forums to today's psychedelic renaissance, and ask what it would mean to bring a truly psychedelic perspective into our institutions. Beiner is less interested in psychedelics as a niche medical tool and more interested in how they can help us see through destructive cultural "games," reconnect to our bodies, and relate across deep divides. Early themes with Alexander Beiner The conversation starts with Beiner's origin story. He describes formative psychedelic experiences as a teenager, and how early access to thinkers like Terence McKenna, Timothy Leary, and the Shulgins led him onto the Grow Report forum and its associated podcasts. From there he launched his own visionary art podcast and eventually co founded Rebel Wisdom, where he focused more broadly on culture, systems, and meaning rather than only on psychedelics. He explains that most of his writing has not been about psychedelic substances, but about a "psychedelic approach" to reality. That means paying attention to complexity, paradox, and relationship, and asking what a psychedelic form of education, politics, or media might look like. He also touches on his documentary "Leviathan," which looks at breakdowns of trust, disembodiment, and the social forces that pull us away from what is real and relational. Core insights from this conversation In the middle of the episode, the discussion moves into concrete tensions in the current psychedelic resurgence. Topics include: How medicalization can both help and constrain access Cognitive liberty and the right to alter one's own consciousness Psychedelic capitalism and the "Moloch" problem of destructive competitive games The risks and potential of psychedelic religions and new spiritual communities Beiner highlights work on ayahuasca circles for Israelis and Palestinians, noting how "we are all one" language can sometimes block necessary truth telling about power and harm. He returns often to embodiment as a key corrective. When people slow down, feel their bodies, and notice what is actually happening in their nervous systems, they can hold disagreement without dehumanizing each other. He also points to emerging work on psychedelics for creativity and problem solving, including stories where psychedelic insights contributed to breakthroughs in science and complex systems thinking. For him, this is one of the most exciting frontiers, because it shifts the story from "fixing a deficit" to "creating something new." Later discussion and takeaways with Alexander Beiner Later in the episode, Alexander Beiner and Joe talk about cult dynamics, religious freedom, and the need for better checks and balances in emerging psychedelic communities. Beiner stresses that humans are naturally drawn into strong groups and narratives, so the key is not to eliminate "cults" but to spot harmful patterns early and build better accountability. They explore how double binds and mixed messages can create mental distress, and how psychedelics can sometimes resolve these binds by adding new context and perspectives. From there, the conversation turns to third spaces, communitas, and the urgent need for more embodied, in person culture beyond screens, work, and home. Practical takeaways include: Work with psychedelics in ways that reconnect you to your body, not just your ideas Treat medicalization as one path among many, not the only legitimate route Pay attention to group dynamics, power, and accountability in any psychedelic setting Look for ways to bring "psychedelic virtues" like flexibility, curiosity, and compassion into your workplace, family, and community Frequently Asked Questions Who is Alexander Beiner? Alexander Beiner is a writer, facilitator, and co founder of the psychedelic conference Breaking Convention and the media platform Kinos. His work focuses on culture, systems, and how psychedelic perspectives can reshape society. What is Alexander Beiner's book about? His recent book (discussed in this episode) looks at how psychedelics interact with politics, capitalism, and culture, and asks whether they can help us navigate multiple crises without getting captured by the same destructive games. How does Alexander Beiner view psychedelic medicalization? He sees medicalization as useful but limited. He supports access for people who need it, but worries that a purely medical frame reinforces class divides and hands too much power to psychiatry, instead of centering cognitive liberty and community based use. What is Leviathan in Alexander Beiner's work? "Leviathan" is his documentary on the breakdown of trust, disembodiment, and large scale systems that pull us away from what is real and relational. It connects mythic images, embodiment, and modern crises of meaning. What is Kinos and how does it relate to Alexander Beiner? KAINOS is Beiner's Substack based media platform, focused on surfacing novel perspectives and stories about culture, psychedelics, and the future. It extends many of the themes explored in this episode. This episode places Alexander Beiner within the wider psychedelic resurgence as a voice linking inner work to outer systems. For clinicians, researchers, and community members, it offers a rich invitation to think beyond individual healing and ask how psychedelic perspectives might help us transform the cultural games we are playing.

Between Sorare, MFL, and Football.Fun, it feels like there's always something to do, but we only have so much time to play.In today's Laird Social Club live stream, I'll talk about how I decide where to spend my time, what keeps each game fun, and how to avoid burnout while still staying competitive.

The hiding place isn't a place of shame—it's where grace finds us and transforms us. From Psalm 32, we're reminded that God doesn't guide us through force but through relationship, shaping us with His loving eye. In Christ, we are found, forgiven, and formed into people of joy who follow His Spirit and share His song of deliverance with the world.

We often play hide and seek with God; trying to cover up, perform, or prove ourselves. But the one we once hid from now invites us to hide in Him, where grace, forgiveness, and true freedom begin.

We all play games that keep us from the life God intends for us. Psalm 32 helps us discover that true blessing and freedom aren't found in perfection, but in the grace and forgiveness that come from God.

When Chris Canfield first messaged me about his upcoming show "The Games We Play," I was struck by how our creative paths had converged despite beginning worlds apart. Chris grew up in Chicago with a magician father who filled their home with card tricks and coin sleights—magic wasn't special, it was simply what they did. Meanwhile, I was discovering similar wonders in the remote landscapes of Norway.What makes Chris's story extraordinary isn't just that he grew up surrounded by magic, but that his parents opened a game store where play became the center of their family life. Board games, puzzles, chess sets—these weren't just products but portals to connection. Chris learned early that games create spaces where adults and children meet as equals, where the boundaries between work and play dissolve.When tragedy struck at sixteen with his father's unexpected death, Chris stepped away from magic, finding the association too painful. His creative energy channeled into music instead, where he developed a custom guitar pick for his right hand (Chris was born with a limb difference) and discovered the transcendent joy of improvisation. As we discussed the parallels between musical flow states and magical performance, it became clear that different forms of play share profound connections.The heart of our conversation explores how Chris's theatrical show "The Games We Play" integrates his personal narrative with interactive magic and games. Rather than performing conventional tricks, he creates experiences where audiences become participants in a shared journey. "I'm trying to blur the lines between games and magic," he explains, crafting moments that feel both impossible and emotionally resonant.For those fascinated by the psychology of performance, Chris offers valuable insights about breaking down the traditional barrier between performer and spectator, creating what I call "a third space" where co-creation happens. His show traces the evolution of games from their earliest forms to modern iterations, examining how play shapes our emotional lives and helps us process our most profound experiences.Whether you're a performer seeking fresh approaches to audience engagement, a game enthusiast curious about magic, or someone interested in how childhood experiences shape creative paths, this conversation illuminates the transformative power of play. Let Chris Canfield's journey inspire you to rediscover your own playful spirit and perhaps see magic in unexpected places.Support the show...Now you can get t-shirts and hoodies with our wonderful logo.
