• In The Absence of Christmas
    Feb 23 2025

    Rejoice!


    Wayne and Steve have returned. The year is now 2025 and our intrepid hosts are older, wiser and more likely to be cancelled. But despite that, they're here to make some Plug In And Play content for their two loyal fans.


    This episode sees Steve and Wayne catch up on what they've been playing since the last episode, and there's a conversation about the Assassin Creed series, and whether it's making a habit of outstaying it's welcome.


    Plus, Wayne has decided it's 2013 again and that modern gaming isn't working for him. Initially done as a way of saving money, it seems that all this "less is more" in gaming is actually working for him. Let's welcome that new era!

  • If Music Be The Food Of Love
    Nov 2 2024

    Wayne and Steven talk about Official PlayStation Magazine, and the other gaming magazines we no longer have, following the news that Play Magazine will shortly be producing their final issue in the UK. Things have a changed a lot since Wayne first started studying Journalism in 2003 and the way we consume media has changed so much.

    Steve and Wayne return for an October show. Talking about what they've been playing and how Wayne managed to get his old on two old PS2's - whatever will he play on them?

    Ever get the feeling you have access to tons of media but there's simply NOTHING to play? Or loads of great shows but nothing to watch? If so, this is the episode for you, quite literally...as it will help you both answer that question AND fill the void. Enjoy!


    Plug In And Play is NOT filmed in front of any live studio audience. Sorry.

  • A New Episode (Or Is It?)
    Aug 20 2024

    Steve and Wayne return to do what they do best, talk about video games. In this episode we discuss the actors art, and how video games have merged with more "traditional" roles of performance.


    We're also interested to know how one person in Sunderland managed to get four sealed copies of an extremely rare PS2 game. Listen On.

  • Let's Get Interactive (Press X to Jason)
    Aug 9 2024

    Steve and Wayne are still talking about Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. But they're also talking about how it relates to a bunch of old Interactive DVD titles Wayne found for sale recently. Bridging the gaps between movies and gamer, being experience and player, how does one define a game?


    An overarching topic, which will already be discussed on future episodes, Plug In And Play once again cordially invites you to join the conversation.

  • And Justice For Steve
    Jul 28 2024

    Do you remember Guitar Hero?


    The guys spend their time talking about Metallica - since there's a huge connection (and anniversary) crossover between the group and the world of gaming.


    Plus, what did Wayne actually buy in York? And was this episode even rehearsed...the answer may surprise you!
