Om Podcasten

Human Can Opener is a podcast where I interview game developers and people of interest in the Disco Elysium sphere of influence. Originally started as a podcast focused on Disco Elysium, Human Can Opener now interviews game devs, creators, journalists, and fans on the subject of games inspired by Disco Elysium or areas of gaming that are similar in ways to what Disco Elysium set out to achieve.
