Episode 19: Select Female for Degrading
This week’s Big Red Potion is a little different - but you’ll find out how soon enough. Joe and Sinan are joined by Matt Walker and Amanda Kondolojy from the Cheat C4 podcast to talk about sexism in video games. While a whole breadth of topics come up, including ESRB ratings, stereotyping, and the specifics of being an interactive medium, the discussion centres on how the fairer sex is represented in video games, where the blame lies for sexism within the medium, and what the future holds for girls in games, as well as the girls playing them. Also, many thanks to Nemo for the superb UGN jingle that makes its debut in this week’s show.

BRP Surplus: The Moustache Mystery
Joe here. There tends to be a lot of shenanigans on Big Red Potion, especially when we incite a massive, multi-podcast battle royale on a topic close to all of our hearts. While all of this is a blast, some equally great moments never make it to your mp3 player of choice. BRP Surplus will collect these moments, presenting any outtakes, pre-show chatter, or post-show tomfoolery that I think you guys would enjoy.
This very special Surplus moment was taped before Episode 16: Good at Being Evil and features Sinan, Joe, Jeffrey Matulef and Jared Newman discussing the secret complexities of a handlebar moustache.

Episode 17: All by Myself Anymore
Just the one guest in this week’s pod panel, and that’s Christos Reid, with the inclusion of the GamerNode, Escapist and IGN UK prolifico making it a London majority cast. Huzzah! Sinan, Joe & Christos talk about the fate of single-player gaming in this week’s cast with regards to Dave Perry’s comments at this year’s DICE summit. Perry said that “the days of single-player gaming are numbered”. Isn’t that some kind of oxymoron, Perry? Well?
