Podcasts like How Did This Get Played?

Get Played (formerly How Did This Get Played?) is an audio podcast that follows Heather Anne Campbell, Nick Wiger and Matt Apodaca as they discuss and review video games, with early episodes focusing on weird or bad games. Apodaca was originally brought in solely as the show's producer, but ended up factoring into discussions so much that he was eventually made a co-host. On January 2, 2022 the podcast changed formats to shift away from intentionally playing bad games, in part to improve the experience for guests and the hosts.

Each episode either focuses on a particular game or features general discussion about gaming. The former usually includes one or more guests, often people involved in comedy who also have an interest in video games. The hosts and guests play the game ahead of the episode, then talk about the experience, the community, and the context surrounding the game. The hosts and guests give their reviews of the game, and read contrary and often comedic reviews of the game found online. Each episode opens with a theme song by engineer Devon Torrey Bryant that remixes music of the game from that week's episode into the show's theme music.
