Franklin and Douglas Ep 109 | The White House Made Video Games?!

Welcome back to the Franklin and Douglas Podcast, where we break down the biggest current events, trending news stories, and bizarre headlines with plenty of opinions, laughs, and our signature bad advice! In Episode 109, we continue our discussion about the White House Arcade and the controversial video games centered around topics including immigration, deportation, and “building the wall.” We take a closer look at how politics, government messaging, and video games are being combined in a way that has people talking. We also take a trip back to the early 2000s to discuss America’s Army, the military-developed video game that was created as an entertainment experience while also serving as a recruiting and public-relations tool. What happens when video games become more than just games? Are they entertainment, education, propaganda, recruitment tools—or some combination of all four? As always, we wrap things up with our famous Bad Advice segment, where questionable opinions meet questionable solutions. If you enjoy current events podcasts, funny news commentary, trending topics, weird news, political discussions, video games, internet culture, and entertaining conversations between friends, you’re in the right place.
