    Panic Podcast

    Given enough time, even a business starts to collect some interesting stories. And Panic, Portland’s long-standing software company/video game publisher/hardware developer/who knows what, has been around for a long time. Our host, Christa Mrgan, takes a look at the strange, funny, interesting, and useless parts of Panic, through interviews, stories, and Cabel’s rambling asides. Now Panic lore can be shared by everyone, for better or worse.

    Full Motion Visionaries Feb 18, 2026
    Show notes

    The full motion video games of the 90s never truly delivered on the promise of creating exciting interactive films, but games like Blippo+, Her Story, Telling Lies, and Immortality manage a sort of alchemy that combines movie magic with the interactivity of video games. Creators Claire L. Evans and Sam Barlow talk about the past and present of the medium, and what (if anything) makes a good FMV.

    The Story of Playdate Jul 29, 2021
    Show notes

    Find out how an offhand idea to mark the 15th anniversary of a software company launched a decade-long saga of twists, turns, and mini-boss battles that led to the creation of a handheld gaming console as surprising and unique as its creators. Pre-order day is finally here, but it’s dangerous to go alone. Take this adorable yellow box, and let’s get crankin’… on the story of Playdate.

    An act of social media spite, an unlikely friendship, and a lot of fast food coupons. How did signing up for a Twitter account to do support lead to an odd and endearing relationship… and whatever happened to the cardboard friends we made along the way?

    Most of us remember the iPhone app store launch in 2008 and the iPhone app gold rush that followed. Indie developers flocked to the platform, all determined to build a breakout app that would earn them millions. And pretty soon that gold rush… turned into a brown rush. Enter Panic, with a ridiculous novelty app and an elaborate fake backstory for a German company that didn’t exist.

    Untitled Goose Game Jan 15, 2020
    Show notes

    It’s a lovely morning in the village, and you are a horrible goose. How did four-person indie game studio House House create the anti-hero internet sensation that honked its way into our hearts in 2019? And how did a small-ish company on the other side of the world — one known primarily for making Mac and iOS software — come to be the publisher of that game?
