The Games Institute (GI) Podcast is currently on indefinite hiatus due to a lack of funding and resources to support the platform. The GI Podcast began as a way of delivering conversations about current research in games and immersive technologies by spotlighting emerging and established scholars. Hosted by GI graduate students and supported by GI administrative staff, the podcast offered a more personal look into the lives of researchers and chronicled their inspiration for pursuing research in games and immersive technologies. The podcast also covered a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: media studies, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and board game design. The GI Podcast will remain available on all major podcast platforms. Thank you to all who tuned in, subscribed, and shared our work!

Wednesday, 2 April, 2025
On this episode of the GI Podcast, co-hosts Sid Heeg and Dr. Emma Vossen sit down with the Rhetoricon Team. Led by Dr. Randy Harris of the English Language and Literature department at the University of Waterloo, the Rhetoricon project is the longest running project at the Games Institute. Dr. Harris' project examines rhetorical figures in language for the purposes of building ethical language learning models and utilizing citizen science to contribute to the database. Joining the conversation are three students on the project Adeshola Ogunsanya, Drake Dong, and Nathan D’Silva, who provide their expertise from working on the database and explore how working on this interdisciplinary project has impacted them.
