Triple Click

Triple Click brings together three of the sharpest voices in gaming journalism: Kirk Hamilton, Maddy Myers, and Jason Schreier. Schreier is probably the most well-known investigative reporter covering the gaming industry, having broken major stories about studio crunch culture and corporate dysfunction at places like Activision Blizzard. Having him as a regular host rather than an occasional guest gives this show a journalistic edge that most gaming podcasts simply cannot match. The show runs weekly on Thursdays through the Maximum Fun network, with episodes typically landing around 60 to 90 minutes. The format rotates between several recurring segments. "What's The Deal With" offers focused explorations of specific franchises or industry trends. "Triple Play" is their game review segment where all three hosts share impressions. They also do developer interviews, mailbag episodes, and annual prediction shows. Over 314 episodes, the three hosts have developed a dynamic where they complement rather than compete with each other. Kirk brings a thoughtful, measured perspective and often zeroes in on game design and music. Maddy covers the cultural criticism angle, connecting games to broader media trends. Jason contributes the insider industry knowledge. The conversations feel substantive without being dry, and the hosts clearly respect each other even when they disagree. With a 4.5-star rating from over 1,100 reviews, Triple Click has carved out a niche as the thinking person's gaming podcast. It is not afraid to engage with difficult industry topics alongside regular game recommendations.
