Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast

Sacred Symbols is the PlayStation-dedicated podcast from Colin Moriarty, a name that has been in gaming media for over two decades. Colin is joined by co-hosts Chris Ray Gun and Dustin Furman, and together they produce a weekly show that goes deep on everything PS5, PS4, PSVR2, and Sony's broader gaming legacy stretching back to the original PlayStation in the mid-1990s. New episodes drop every Monday, and fair warning, these are long episodes. Recent ones have clocked in at three to five hours, so this is a commitment. But that runtime allows the hosts to cover the weekly PlayStation news in genuine detail, share extended impressions of games they have been playing, and engage with listener questions without rushing through anything. Colin's institutional knowledge of PlayStation history means he can contextualize current Sony decisions against patterns from previous console generations. The show holds an impressive 4.8-star rating from over 3,300 reviews, and about 400 episodes are in the archive. That is a substantial back catalog. Colin's style is opinionated and direct, which is exactly what his audience wants. He is not trying to please everyone, and the show is better for it. The Patreon supporters get early access to episodes, but the full show is available for free. If you are specifically a PlayStation person and want a show that treats the platform with real depth rather than as one bullet point in a multi-platform roundup, Sacred Symbols is hard to beat. The hosts actually play the games they discuss, which sounds obvious but is surprisingly uncommon.
