About This Episode
Jamie Madigan has a PhD in Psychology, loves video games, and the nerds that play them so we obviously wanted to have him on the show. The hour long conversation touches on digital vs. real life relationships, how to be a parent that engages, how not to be a completionist (like the podcast producer), and many other interesting insights to the “moral panic” often directed at video games.
