About The Podcast
The EA Podcast is the official podcast for Electronic Arts, developer and publisher of such smash videogame hits as Madden NFL and The Sims, as well as some not-quite-smash hits, like Catwoman. Co-hosted by EA.com’s Jeff Green and Samantha LaPerre, and recorded every week at EA’s primary death star in Redwood Shores, California, The EA Podcast provides an informative and irreverent behind-the-scenes look at one of the biggest game companies on this great planet of ours we like to call “Earth.”
Join Samantha and Jeff every week as they get up close (but not too close) and personal (but not so much that it gets icky) with folks from all over Electronic Arts and its partners, from the game designers and producers to the chefs at the EA café. It’s something new every week on The EA Podcast, so don’t miss an episode! Start listening now!
The EA podcast is engineered by Christopher Davidson and produced by Samantha LaPerre.
EA Podcast Co-Hosts
Jeff Green
@Greenspeak on Twitter
Born roughly 250 years ago, Jeff Green is one of the certifiable Old Men of Gaming, having played his first games on the wooden abacus his great grandpappy made for him back when this country was little more than prairieland. More recently, Jeff spent 17 years as a journalist, including 8 years as editor-in-chief of Computer Gaming World magazine and 1up.com's PC gaming website, where his Greenspeak column and GFW Radio podcasts were beloved by literally dozens of people, some of them living.
In 2008, Jeff joined The Sims group at EA as a producer and designer, and is now the editor-in-chief of EA.com. He's still mad about Ra'mon getting the boot on Project Runway this season.
Samantha LaPerre
@Samanthix on Twitter
When she's not decorating her cubicle with Muppets, The Simpsons and Care Bears paraphernalia, or offering placements on EA.com in exchange for sparkly stickers, Samantha is managing editor of EA.com, responsible for all game content and daily operations.
An EA veteran of 5 years (that's approximately 842,208,937 game launches) Samantha has held such exciting roles as: PR Events Coordinator, Assistant Advertising Manager for EA SPORTS, North American Community Manager for Crysis and resident Rock Band mic hog.
