Chris Plante, writer, editor (Polygon, The Verge, Limetown, Post Games).

Chris Plante is a journalist, editor, and one of the sharpest voices working in video game media. After studying at New York University , he worked as freelance writer for outlets including The Guardian , Vulture , and Edge before, in 2012, co-founding Polygon , a website blending coverage of pop culture, longform storytelling, and thoughtful games criticism. Alongside his journalism, he co-wrote the story for the hit podcast series, Limetown , later adapted into a TV series starring Stanley Tucci. In 2017, after a stint overseeing the Culture desk at The Verge , he returned to Polygon as editor-in-chief. In May, after nearly a decade at the site, he left Polygon to launch Post Games , a podcast about why and how we love video games. Smart, funny, and never afraid to challenge the status quo, my guest has helped define contemporary games journalism.
