WARNING! A Huge Podcast
aka “WAHP”

Mentioned by @Ymer, @Rudie and @Cerium in various threads. Some stuff in earlier WAHP episodes hasn’t aged great but the three ex-Gamefan hosts provided perspective and insights on the Japanese game industry and Japanese gaming culture from the now-distant years of 2010-2012 that I hadn’t heard elsewhere.
(Also it was their contemporary incessant fanboyism of Demon’s Souls and then Dark Souls–this was a period where Japanese console gaming was at something of a low point as the industry there had bet big on handheld gaming rather than investing in learning how to make games in HD, but certain things were developing that in hindsight we now know become huge later, like the Souls games and Yakuza/Like a Dragon–that, listening to it now all these years later, finally got me to try that series for myself.)
