Playing American

This podcast explores what we play, how we play, and why we play. We use a wide definition of play, from board and video games, to escape rooms, to cat cafes, to fantasy football, and much more! We believe that play is powerful and that it shapes us: It’s an opportunity to explore power dynamics, learn that we have agency, and discover how we might be able to use play to change the status quo. We as individuals feel fulfillment, learn, and connect through play. It powers us, and that’s what makes it powerful!
