The Sausage Factory is an interview-based podcast that lifts the lid on the makers of video games. It is often said by video game developers that the act of making games is not as nearly as interesting as actually playing them. So much so that many even liken it to a sausage factory in that while sausages are great, the act of making them is something no one should ever bear witness to. The Sausage Factory podcast aims to disprove this view by bringing the video game audience to the creators of the titles they love to play by interviewing developers. Split into two halves, the first delves into what makes the developers tick by asking about how they started, what and who inspires them and what games they are currently playing. The second half covers what game they are currently working on and the thought processes behind its development. So, if you really want to hear about a game in full undiluted detail then you have found the right podcast.

The Sausage Factory Episode 2: Inkle Studios
Show host Chris ORegan interviews John Ingold and Joseph Humfrey of Inkle Studios to chat about the first two parts of Steve Jacksons Sorcery for iOS and Android devices. Sorcery was an epic choose your own adventure game book that first appeared in 1985. Inkle Studios were drafted in to bring this book into the 21st Century by putting into tablet and smart phones. Rather than just reproduce the same book Inkle Studios decided to create an role playing game out of the original material. The first part was released in the Spring of 2013 and the second, much more extensive half, has just been released for iOS devices. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode02.mp3 Edited by Chris O'Regan
