About the session
Lego Horizon Adventures is an incredibly bold attempt to connect Sony PlayStation’s Horizon games with the toys. Mario & Luigi Brotherhood is an interesting RPG in the waning days of the Nintendo Switch. And the JBL Junior 470NC are high-quality Bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones for kids. Joe van Burik, Felienne Hermans and Sam van Zuijlen talk about it in this Mini-Game Round-Up episode of All in the Game.

Above all in the Game
All in the Game is the gaming podcast for everyone. Whenever something is happening in the world of games, you will hear about it here: exciting developments, interesting research and of course the latest releases to play on your PlayStation, Xbox, PC or platform any other.
Led by BNR technical editor Joe van Burik, you will hear conversations with other game experts, such as computer science professor Felienne Hermans, audio producers André Dortmont and Wesley Schouwenaars, stock market nerd Jochem Visser, tech editors Niels Kooloos and Daniël Mol and pop culture experts Donner Bakker and Sam van Zuilen.
Every week you will hear at least one episode of All in the Game. Or several, when there is a lot going on in the world of games Sometimes with comments and analyzes about current developments and new games. At other times you can listen to interviews with the makers of certain games, from Grand Theft Auto (GTA) to Baldur’s Gate 3 – both Dutch and international developers. Or we talk to esports athletes, researchers and other experts in the world of video games, in our Top Game section. And we regularly have someone from BNR Nieuwsradio join us to talk about their favorite game from the past in the Retro section.
In this podcast we look beyond just what makes a game fun: we also discuss its cultural, social, economic and technological impact. After all, the global gaming industry is worth around 200 billion euros per year, which is (for several years now) more than the music and film industries combined.
In this way, at All in the Game you not only hear what you should play – and on the new platform (game) – but you can be even more aware of it, talk about and actually enjoy it. Whether it’s related to Super Mario or Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite or Roblox, football games from EA Sports FC or FIFA, Call of Duty or Battlefield, League of Legends or Dota, or old golden titles like Tetris , Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims or even Snake. And we also take into account hobbies that are close to games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, Lego and the movies, series and comics around series such as Star Wars and Marvel. It’s all covered in All in the Game.
All in the Game was recorded as a podcast in 2022 in the archive of the Netherlands Sound & Vision Institute in Hilversum – as the first podcast of BNR Nieuwsradio and one of the first all game podcasts. Together with numerous Dutch television programs, radio shows, games, websites, web videos and podcasts, this material forms the history of Dutch media.
