My 52 Minutes of Fame: A Live Show on a National Radio Station

Yeehah, I did it again! 😀

I got to talk about sexism in games and feminist gaming on Ö1 Nachtquartier (“night quarter”) on April 17, right after midnight! Thanks Xaver Forthuber for inviting me!

We discussed how I got hooked to gaming, how and why I picked “glamgeekgirl” as my nickname, what kinds of sexism women encounter in games, what to do about sexist attacks and many other aspects. We did so in a (I think) very approachable fashion – Ö1 is not exactly a youth station 😉 but I value it as a venue for intelligent discourse of various topics.

T-15: I’m Nervous.

It was a call-in show (my first!) and there was a 75-year-old lady who wanted to know why most of the games that she sees in advertisements are war games with male heroes. 🙂

There were also some emails with questions. I will post and answer these here a bit later.

The show is in German, you can listen to it here. Attention: The file is almost 50 MB big, I already compressed it down to a half! 😉

All photos in this post were taken by Jürgen, who is also hosting the audio file. Thanks! 🙂
