About this listen

 Welcome to The Loading Screen — the podcast where everything is paused… except the conversation. Hosted by a curious mind with a passion for deep dives, The Loading Screen is your weekly destination for unscripted discussions on psychology, politics, law, culture, video gaming, and whatever else loads into the mind that day. Whether you're here for sharp social commentary, reflections on current events, or long-form thoughts on game design and identity—you’ll find it here, loading in real-time. Think of it as your mental AFK zone—part podcast, part pause menu, all conversation.Jack and Jake Science Fiction

    Episode 1 - Press Start – A New Game, A New Conversation
    May 10 2025

    In this debut of The Loading Screen, I reintroduce the podcast with a fresh vision—where gaming and deeper conversation collide. From worldbuilding to modding culture, this isn’t just about what we play, but why it resonates. Consider this your new safe zone for thought and discussion.

    I return from my hiatus with The Daily Conversation with my best friend Jake to bring you new and better content. To provide a comfort zone and safe space. To provide, The Loading Screen.


    In this Episode, we briefly discuss Broken Arrow, Prison Architect 2 and the stance developers take with games alongside a small discussion on in-game microtransactions.
