The Game Production Academy

Welcome to the Game Production Academy podcast. I am Liam Wickham. This podcast is for game producers and production leaders who want more predictable delivery without burning teams out. I cover planning, leadership and risk management with practical tools you can use immediately - templates, examples and case breakdowns.

I am also the author of Risk Management for Video Game Professionals (CRC Press, 2026) - the link is below. If you teach or study game production, you can use the same material to build industry-ready practice.
