Podcast Games

What is a podcast game?
It's a game you can play....while listening to a podcast. In fact you might entirely play it because you've got a podcast you want to listen to and you need to do something with your hands/eyes. Podcast games have a few main qualities:

- Chill - this does not mean "wholesome". Violent games can be chill. Non-violent games can be not-chill. Important thing is that it requires not that much brainpower and doesn't have a ton of dramatic storytelling you need to pay attention to. Slow tasks, checklists, grinding etc. are all good.
- Unimportant audio - Audio can still be on in the game, but it shouldn't have a ton of voice acting or significant music beats.
- Low on reading - it's hard to read and listen to people talk at the same time.

Here are some games I've enjoyed partly for this purpose.
