Button Boys

Valentine’s Special: Eat, Play, Love

Slipped into your podcast inbox like a letter from a secret lover, it's Button Boys Valentine's Special. This one's for the lovers, not the fighters, as the Boys tackle the topic of romance in video games. From wet kiss noises and star-jump yippees, to deeply complex paramours, they work out which options melt their hearts and which give them a serious ick. Elsewhere, Sarah's fallen off the quaint, provincial wagon, Pierre's melted his mind with intergalactic meddling, and Glenn's been playing a game so disgusting it's been banned from multiple platforms. It's a neigh from me.

The Things In Games You’ve Never Done IRL

Dumped surreptitiously into your podcast app, it's another episode of Button Boys, the world's only gaming podcast hosted by Glenn Moore, Sarah Keyworth and Pierre Novellie. This week the Boys are on the hunt for game mechanics and tropes that feel completely normal in games, but they've never actually done themselves, questioning the very fabric of the digital worlds we all inhabit. In slightly less of an existential manner, Glenn's been dwelling in a dank cathedral basement this week, frantically inputting numbers; Sarah's tried out a game they so nearly picked as a ‘one to watch’; and Pierre's signed up for planetary defence, perhaps at the cost of his own sanity. Any game developers out there should listen closely, too, as Pierre pitches what may be the first $10m-grossing Button Boys game. We're open for business...

Demo Discs: Just the Tip?

Cheats and Cheeses: Are They Ever Justified?

Back once again by semi-popular demand, it's Button Boys, one of the top alliterative gaming shows of 2026. This week it's all about cheats and cheeses. Ever been stuck on a level and typed in a quick console command? Taken advantage of a game glitch to take out a hard boss? Ever felt bad, even once? In this episode, the Boys discuss the ins and outs of cheating and cheesing their way through games, work out whether it can ever be justified and hark back to the good old days of cheat codes.
