Jo Redfern on what Gen Z and Gen Alpha wish you knew about entertainment!

Friday, June 27, 2025 • Duration 51:13

Jo Redfern is one of the sharpest minds working at the intersection of kids, media, gaming, and fandom. She’s the founder of Futurehood Media, co-host of the Kids Media Club Podcast, and has helped brands from Disney to Roblox figure out how to stay relevant with the next generation.

In this episode, we unpack:

How Gen Z and Gen Alpha really experience media (hint: there is no online vs. offline)
Why games like Roblox are the new playground, classroom, and social network combined
How gaming drives real-world participation — including in sports
What brands get wrong (and occasionally right) when trying to show up in game space
Why the Minecraft movie was a wake-up call for Hollywood
And how the generation that grew up gaming is now redesigning the rules of culture — both online and IRL.

If you care about media, marketing, sport, or the future of culture, this one is unmissable.

Lorne Balfe, legendary film and game composer, on how gaming can be an essential form of escape

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, March 17, 2025 • Duration 58:30

In this episode of Noob Gaming, composer Lorne Balfe, the man behind epic scores for films like TopGun Maverick and Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning and massive game titles Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed talks us through his unconventional career and approach to composing.

We explore how scoring for games is different from films, why gaming still gets looked down on as an art form (and why that's stupid), and how music helps players feel their way through a game.

We also take some time to talk about composing for different mediums, being a secret teenage ad-jingle writer, his thoughts on AI music and why gaming’s cultural moment is just getting started.

Fabien Siouffi on how gaming helps us be better humans

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, March 3, 2025 • Duration 01:02:08

Fabien Siouffi joins Noob Gaming to explore the intersection of games, art, and culture. From pioneering online gaming in Asia to working with philosophers and artists in VR, Fabien shares his journey of using interactive worlds to reshape how we experience life. He challenges the perception of games as mere escapism, arguing they are tools for practicing reality, a place where we learn, belong, and evolve. We discuss gaming’s growing legitimacy in the art world, its power as a storytelling medium, and how play shapes our perception of the world. A thought-provoking dive into the future of gaming.

Fabien's gaming recommendations:

If you only have time for 5 games :

The Beginner’s Guide (PC, Mac, Linux). By the Stanley Parable author. fantastic take on interactive storytelling. Introspective, smart, layered tale of worlding in digital times.

Passage (Web). 5mn long and made with 16bits. Jason Rohrer is justly regarded as the first poet of video games, and Passage is his most poignant work.

Everything (PS4, PC, Mac). David O’Reilly ensures Rohrer’s legacy by developing one of the most expressive interactive artwork ever. Alan Watts fans rejoice.

Inside (PS4, XBox1, PC). A sensory experience, beautiful, smart, progressive, haunting, impeccably executed from the Limbo makers.

A Dark Room. An epic journey started with a single text line

On Steam (PC/Mac)

Limbo. You’ll never die the same again

Braid. Probably the smartest game on earth.

The Witness. By the Braid designer, very different, very smart too

Portal 1&2. Perfectly balanced gameplay, fantastic cutscenes and storytelling

What remains of Edith Finch (PC, XBox, PS4). A story that builds over the whole game, the last few scenes are interactive storytelling at its best
