Shortly after I published my study on public media’s reliance on federal funding in Current, LAist’s AirTalk invited me to be a live guest on their show with NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik.

I analyzed the financials of 75 randomly-selected public media broadcasters to answer the question of what would actually happen if public media lost its federal funding.

Timberborn and Manor Lords got a quick review from me for NPR Gaming’s mid-2024 showcase.

I previewed five big upcoming games - Life by You, Homeworld 3, Manor Lords, Frostpunk 2, and Stormgate - in this annual round-up.

My thoughts on Age of Wonders 4, Terra Nil, Diablo 4, and Company of Heroes 3, made our round-up of the top video games of 2023.

Two big strategy games debuted in the same week: Total War: Pharaoh, and Star Trek: Infinite. I took a deep dive into both in this standalone article.

I reviewed Homeseek, the Frostpunk-esque city-builder, in NPR’s Fall 2023 round-up.

Activision Blizzard’s blockbuster Diablo IV landed in May 2023 after much anticipation (and an impressive marketing blitz). I got to give the game a full treatment, including some custom gameplay GIFs.

I contributed some voice work for this episode on NPR’s (now former) hip-hop podcast Louder Than A Riot.

Triumph’s Age of Wonders 4 topped my list of top strategy games in an otherwise disappointing year for the genre. I recounted my triumphs and tribulations in this full review on NPR.org.
