The ReadyAimFire podcast invites you to fall in love with your favourite video games all over again.
Every two weeks, we take you behind the scenes as we interview the designers, artists, and storytellers who craft the worlds we escape to—from iconic blockbusters to cult classics. These are the people responsible for the characters you love, the levels you’ve memorised, and the moments that still give you goosebumps.
Hosted by actor Kezia Burrows (Alien: Isolation, Star Citizen) and producer Tom Stacey, the ReadyAimFire Podcast is a show for anyone who’s ever been moved by a game—and wants to know how the magic really happens.
You’ll hear untold stories from inside the studio, breakthroughs and breakdowns, creative chaos, craft insights, and of course the deeply personal journeys that led our guests into the games industry in the first place.
We speak to the voices from the booth and the bodies from the capture volume, alongside the directors, writers, sound technicians, composers, level designers and developers who work in the shadows, creating the games we love to play.
Whether you’re here for the juicy stories or the technical insights, you’ll come away inspired, entertained, and reminded why you picked up a controller in the first place.
🎧 New episodes every other week on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and anywhere else you get your podcasts!
Follow us, subscribe, and get ready to fall back in love with the games you thought you already knew.
