Who am I?
I love indie games - I love listening to reviews and interviews by some of the best game journalists out there. For a long time, indie games didn't get the coverage they deserve. That has been changing due to a lot of the great podcasts that are out there (many that I've listed below), working hard to cover the indie scene.

Play first episode
We all know that being a gamer is a lifestyle. We also know that gaming as a single-player gamer comes with its own set of problems. We have to worry about if a game is worth our time. If a game is worth its price tag. Not to mention the backlog of games that seem like an ever-growing boss fight that we just can't win. Enter the single-player experience, the video game podcast designed for solo gamers who wanna know about good single-player experiences. My name is Sebastion Mauldin. I've played hundreds of games and now I'm a video game reviewer who specializes in single-player games. My main quest is to help you manage your ever growing gaming backlog by letting you know which single player games are your time and money so that you can the best single player experience.
