I was really excited when Ren Reynold’s of the Virtual Policy Network invited me for a chat about my new e-sports book for his podcast, Social Change Technology. Ren’s an old friend and very knowledgeable about gaming (not to mention virtual worlds and all sorts of net-related stuff) so getting a chance to talk to him about this stuff was particularly fun. Ren was a participant in the recent Beyond Sports vs. Games workshop we held at the ITU so I also knew he’s been thinking quite a bit about the intersection of these categories. I definitely recommend the podcast as a whole, and you can check out my own episode here!
