Hi, and welcome to another episode of the Ice Cream for Everyone podcast, where play meets strategy. And both as an edited audio file (cleaned up sound, mostly) as well as on video for the first time!
I am joined by Eric Woning, a brand and communications strategy director based in London. Eric has extensive experience with brands and digital, media, and creative advertising agencies like Mindshare, OMD, TBWA, and more. We follow each other on Twitter and I asked him if he’s up for being on the show.
I also asked him to pick a genre he’s be interested from a list of suggestions, he short listed horror or post-apocalypse, and I picked the award winning tabletop roleplaying game Apocalypse World as a springboard for the conversation.
I’m sorry if post-apocalypse feels a little too close to reality these days, we talk about it, and just to make sure I mention it up front, it’s not really the reason that was selected. We had a brilliant chat, going from games, to brand archetypes, digital technologies, music, and more.
FYI the conversation is explicit and there is some light swearing, and unfortunately have a couple of bump noises I didn’t manage to get rid of while editing the audio.
