Smart Bomb
In celebration of Mario's 20th birthday, the kinda great NPR show "Talk of the Nation" had a piece on video games titled, 'Smart Bomb': Inside the Video Game Industry, featuring a pair of journalist who just released a book that has one of those annoyingly specific, business self-help titles that business-type books seem to have 'Smart Bomb': The Quest for Art, Entertainment and Big Bucks in the Video Game Industry.
Audio is available, as well as a chapter excerpt from the book.
Why do I blog this? The topic is on point, and I found the journalist to be quite articulate on the topic. Some of the call-ins were good creampuff insights and questions, but made for a good discussion.
