How players evoke personal and subjective meanings through a new theory of player response.  In The Well-Read Game: On Playing Thoughtfully (MIT Press, 2025), Tracy Fullerton and Matthew Farber explore the experiences we have when we play games: not the outcomes of play or the aesthetics of formal game structures but the ephemeral and emotional experiences of being in play. These are the private stories we tell ourselves as we play, the questions we ask, and our reactions to the game's intent. These experiences are called “readings” because they involve so many of the aspects of engaging with literary, cinematic, and other expressive texts. A game that is experienced in such a way can be called “well-read,” rather than, or as well as, “well-played,” because of the personal, interpretive nature of that experience and the way in which it relates to our reading of texts of all kinds. The concept of the “well-read game” exists at the convergence of literary, media, and play theories—specifically, the works of Louise Rosenblatt's reader-response theory, Brian Upton's situational game theory, Tracy Fullerton's playcentric design theory, and Bernie DeKoven's well-played game philosophy. Each of these theories, from their own perspective, challenges notions of a separate, objective, or authorial meaning in a text and underscores the richness that arises from the varied responses of readers, who coauthor the meaning of each text through their active engagement with it. When taken together, these theories point to a richer understanding of what a game is and how we might better value our experiences with games to become more thoughtful readers of their essential meanings. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

James Sligo Jameson, heir to the Jameson Whiskey fortune, fancied himself an adventurer, despite a rather controversial history. He took part in one of the last European expeditions into central Africa and allegedly instigated and witnessed a horrific cannibalistic ritual. This ill-fated journey claimed the lives of many in the expedition party, under the pretense of a rescue mission to save a colonial governor. Not only did this expedition cost Jameson his life, but it also tarnished his reputation, thanks to his detailed journals and unsettling sketches. Curious about the sketches? Well… Read more about it here. #JamesonWhiskey #cannibalism #exploration #centralAfrica #JamesSligoJameson See show notes: https://inlet.fm/weird-history/episodes/6814d0289155c4ddd9db692c Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textThis week we welcome CJ, the creator of A Well Read Tart book and recipe blog, and co-host of the Dark Side of the Word podcast. We talk books, recipe development, learning to cook, AND we make her go-to Paprika Shrimp & Gouda Polenta recipe. Have you ever been inspired to bake or cook while reading a book? CJ shares her creative thinking behind her blog - how she comes up with ideas for recipes that connect in some way to books she reads, and her process for recipe development. We asked CJ to share a recipe with us and she chose a shrimp and cheesy polenta dish. Erin took this one on, because she doesn't have a lot of experience cooking shrimp and she wanted to learn. CJ shares tips for buying and cooking shrimp, if you're also a newbie. And this polenta is cheesy, creamy and fantastic! We absolutely love it. It's a side dish that can be paired with almost anything you're serving.   A Well Read Tart is a blog CJ created to discuss books and the recipes she develops that are inspired by the books she reads. If you're into books and recipes, this is obviously for you! Her co-hosted podcast, Dark Side of the Word is a discussion on writing topics, and horror fiction. Both of these are a lot of fun, so please check them out!

Our friend Jake VandenPlas from DC Farm For Vets visits us in the studio, to not only share fresh sweet corn with the guys, but also talk about the REAL work on the farm. Yes, they are growing vegetables, raising beef, pork and chicken...but its a much deeper plan than that. The work on the farm really focuses on fighting veteran suicide. Then Mike Campbell, Founder and President of Team ONE MILE calls in to talk about the organization and the work it does. Team ONE MILE cycled over 100 miles a day from community to community across the state of Wisconsin. They had a total of 21 riders with the goal of highlighting veterans and future youth leaders. They also raised money for the Gold Star children of Camp Hometown Heroes.

Theologian, analytic philosopher, apologist and author Paul Copan answers the questions about God's character that Christians often get from nonbelievers looking to paint God as violent, misogynistic and racist. The author of Is God a Vindictive Bully? explains in this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Jeff Myers that to get the full insight into God's goodness requires us to read Scripture in the context of both its cultural time and its literary genres. "God is not wrathful in spite of love," he notes. "He's wrathful because of love." Listen to every episode of the Dr. Jeff Show wherever you listen to podcasts.
