Podcast special: Ashly Burch on the importance of queer roles, mental health, and authentic representation in gaming
"It's baked into the fibre of who we are."
In the spirit of this week's festivities, and given this is timely and necessary look at why queerness is important to gaming, we're making this podcast completely free. Watch on YouTube In a chat that was filmed in June, Ashly and I cover a broad range of topics in this interview - from queerness in games, how that's changed over the course of her career, her relationship to the LGBTQIA+ identity, and how those elements inspire her work across writing, directing, acting - and even simply engaging with games as someone that enjoys playing them. So, now that you've heard me waffle on about the broader strokes of the interview, you can listen for yourself below, or hit the video up top if you want to see us in the flesh (so to speak).
