AI and Games Podcast

Tommy Thompson

Booking Overview

This is an interview-led games-industry and artificial-intelligence analysis show that combines solo commentary with occasional conversations featuring researchers, practitioners, and authors connected to game AI and design. PR agencies could credibly pitch game AI researchers, developers, technical leaders, policy specialists, and authors with relevant books or projects; booking difficulty is low because the show is newer and its guests are specialized but generally accessible professionals rather than major celebrities.
