The Things In Games You’ve Never Done IRL
2026/02/05
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... If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and our Hitman: World of Assassination playthrough, and our brand new Player 4 show where we interview a different comedian every month about their gaming lives.

Demo Discs: Just the Tip?
2026/01/29
It's Button Boys time again and this week the topic is demos. The evocative sounds of CDs being peeled off magazine covers, the joy of exploiting every last bit of the free level included and the overall disappointment when the full game doesn't live up to the promise of its teaser. This episode has... THANKS FOR TRYING THE DEMO! To continue reading, please purchase the full episode description.

Cheats and Cheeses: Are They Ever Justified?
2026/01/22
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. We also catch up with the gang's latest gaming fancies, with Glenn stuck in culinary purgatory, Pierre turning his troops into popsicles and Sarah getting physical this week as they step away from the screen.

2026/01/08
Welcome back and Happy New Year to all the Buttons out there. The Boys are back with a vengeance after their Christmas break.

Hidden Cache - The Butties Afterparty
2026/01/01
As we're away this week we'd thought we'd put out a normally Patreon-exclusive episode of Hidden Cache. We'll be back next week with brand-new, box-fresh content.

If you thought the awards were done, think again, as Pierre, Sarah and Glenn keep dishing them out left, right and centre. Sarah reveals their true feelings about Split Fiction, Glenn fesses up to his addiction and Pierre tries to get to the bottom of Glenn’s RNG aflussy. And that’s not it: the results are in from our Stud Farm substitute playthrough poll, so make sure to tune in to find out which game the Boys will be taking on next!y Remember, the conversation continues over on our Discord!

Resurrect, Reboot and Remaster: The Series Crying Out for a Revival
2025/12/11
We gather here today to pay respect to the game series of yore, that thrilled, entertained and moved us, and to shout at the top of our lungs, "I WANT MORE." That's right, Button Boys is back, and this week it's all about the series we want to see return, from cult-classic cartoons to mega movie tie-ins, the Boys lament the games that never were. And that's unsurprisingly not all! Sarah's dredging up old recommendations, Pierre's reached a stage of acceptance and Glenn's been left bitterly disappointed with an old friend in their weekly gaming recap.

Virtually in Love: Our Biggest Gaming Crushes
2025/12/04
It's time to get all hot under the collar, red in the face, heart a-fluttering and delve into the sauciest episode of Button Boys to date. This week it's all about the video game characters the Boys crush hardest for. From Pokémon to The Sims to a giant alien turtle, the content of this episode would leave Freud foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog. Speaking of the psychology, Pierre's been locked into the heads of battle-hardened veterans this week as he's struggled his way through the latest Call of Duty offering; Glenn's been doing his best for the Japanese mascot industry; and Sarah's stumbled across a game that couldn't be more out of their comfort zone. And we get our first letter to the show from none other than Simon Podcast with a genuinely fascinating fact from way back in 2011. Apologies this week to our video audience, as we're having quite major technical difficulties with Pierre's camera. We hope the fix is not too distracting...

Gateway Games: How to Wololo
2025/11/27
After revealing their deepest gaming insecurities last week, the Boys are back and they're here to convert. This week they'll be discussing the games they use to get the uninitiated through the door, and what not to do when it comes to recruiting non-gamers. But before they get into it, the Boys have been busy playing new games this week with Sarah stuck in the brain of a teenager, Glenn caught in a loop and Pierre lost in a Lovecraftian world, there's a lot to dissect.

Game Shame: How it Feels and What to Do About It
2025/11/20
Come one, come all to the latest Button Boy offering. This week the Boys are opening up about a deeply personal feeling: game shame. Ever had your flatmate, partner or work colleague stumble in on you in the throes of defeating a boss and just felt plain silly? Well, don't worry, you're amongst friends here. They discuss how it hits and what to do about it. Elsewhere, Pierre's gone back to emulate his childhood, romping around Macro World, Glenn's playing a literal smash hit and Sarah's up to no good in a wholly grocery-based environment. And just when you thought you were done, Glenn has a real déjà-vu gripe to hit you with.

This week, the Button Boys are tearing up the rulebook and heading off-road in our first-ever non-themed episode. They can say and do whatever the heck they want and there's nothing you or I, their producer, can do about it. Sarah gets a Greek blast from the past, Pierre's happy the kids have gone and Glenn's been playing a contender for his game of the year before the lot of them tackle VR, COVID, The Traitors and hotel Wi-Fi in what some people are describing as one of the most 'urgent' and 'pressing' podcast episodes of the year. For those who fear this topical lawlessness don't worry, Glenn's still got a slippery gripe for you right at the end.

The Biggest Spooks: A Halloween Special
2025/10/29
They're spooky and they're kooky, they're all obsessed with booty, video games and poopy, the Button (boy) Family... It's a Halloween special this week as the Boys discuss the scariest games they've ever played, from the unsettling to the outright terrifying. Sarah's been finding ways to unwind and then wind right back up this week with their game choices, Pierre's frustrated by nonsensical lore and Glenn's discovered what can only be described as, "gamer's crack".
