Get Involved

Critical Moves operates with six regular hosts, but we’re open to expanding when the right people come along. Before reaching out, consider what you might bring to our discussions and whether strategy gaming genuinely interests you beyond casual play.

We look for people who can contribute consistently without needing constant direction. The podcast benefits from contributors who understand strategy games well enough to discuss mechanics, design decisions, and industry developments with depth. We’re willing to help team members develop their podcasting skills and grow within the project, but you need genuine interest in strategy gaming as your foundation.

Our production needs include audio editing, graphic design, marketing support, and content coordination. These roles work best with some existing experience, but we can provide guidance and training for motivated contributors who show aptitude. We need people who take initiative and deliver reliable work rather than those seeking extensive hand-holding.

For hosting contributions, we value voices that add new perspectives to our existing coverage. Our current hosts bring business analysis, academic psychology, game development experience, historical knowledge, and international viewpoints. New contributors might fill gaps in our coverage or bring fresh expertise in strategy gaming areas we haven’t explored thoroughly.

We actively welcome guest interviews from game developers, industry professionals, and strategy gaming experts. These conversations work particularly well when guests have specific projects, insights, or experiences to discuss. Developer interviews help listeners understand design decisions and development challenges behind their favorite games.

Al never planned to do podcasts before Nuno approached him, but he brought technical skills and discovered he enjoyed the analytical discussions. Many valuable team members start without podcasting experience but possess relevant knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for strategic thinking.

Contact through Discord or [email protected] with information about your background and interests. Tell us what draws you to strategy gaming and what you think you might contribute to Critical Moves.

We look forward to welcoming you.
