Not just guesswork on 4Chan.</p>\n<p>The podcast is hosted by <strong>Shams Jorjani</strong> (CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, Chairman of the Board at Hooded Horse, and founder of the Almost Ready Games Fund) and <strong>Fernando Rizo</strong> (former Chief Sales &amp; Business Development Officer at Raw Fury, now Partner at Kaboodle Games).</p>\n<p>In every episode, we invite a guest from the industry to unpack an interesting decision or event, share lessons learned, or explain why all of us armchair experts got it wrong (or occasionally right).</p>\n<p>This podcast previously ran for four years at Paradox Interactive and was available there until they decided to remove it. It might yet return someday - as a DLC in one of their games.</p>","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/15130952/The_Business_of_Video_Games_Podcast_Main_Cover_Art97x0a_300x300.png","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
