Another gamer here and wannabe amateur game designer.
I subscribed and listened to both episodes. Good job man! Though I generally enjoy podcasts more if there are two or more people going back and forth, you managed to make it interesting on your own. The content so far was great, and it was not too short and not too long, considering the topics that were presented. I like the scholarly approach, it's certainly a refreshing contrast to the other gaming podcasts I listen to.
I'm working on my own liberty-themed game, so I'm really looking forward to hearing your ideas on the subject.
