The Back Page Episode + ARC Raiders (with Phil Savage)
About this episode
The podcast eats itself! The Back Page finally dedicates a whole episode to its namesake. How do back page jokes go wrong? And what about the less frequent times when they go well? Returning guest Phil Savage, Global Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer, helps us examine the creation of these gags. There's also a 20-minute bit on ARC Raiders near the start if that's your sort of thing.
This week's music is from the Yakuza 0 soundtrack by Hidenori Shoji.
