Things I Forgot Were Good For Me

Joe is a Features Writer at GamesRadar+ and has written for a number of gaming, sport and entertainment publications including PC Gamer, Edge, Play and FourFourTwo. Joe is also a mental health advocate and has written a book about video games, mental health and their complex intersections. He is a regular expert contributor on both subjects for BBC radio.
In this episode, he chats to us about how video games can help to heal our mental health through entering digital worlds and how the perceptions of video games as creating isolation for the users are false, that they are actually a springboard for connection and community.
