The PSP Show #15 - Managing at Electronic Arts
The PSP Show #15 - Managing at Electronic Arts (MP3 18.9 mb 27 minutes 30 seconds) LISTEN HERE
Something a bit different this week, as I [temporarily] hand the show over to Wayne Turmel, from TPN’s Cranky Middle Manager Show. He’s jsut completed an interview with Matt Manuel, from Electronic Arts. Ever wonder what it’s like to manage in the world of Video Game production? How do they grow managers in a business that didn’t exist 20 years ago? Manuel is in charge of a development team at Electronic Arts (he’s the guy in charge of FIFA 2006, the project and the people). So what does a Lead Development Director actually do? This ain’t an easy place to work, folks. It takes a “high level of commitment” which is a nice way of saying it’s all about overtime…..
Don’t forget you can listen on your PSP by going to the PSP web browser, and entering psp.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed as the URL - you’ll be asked if you want to add the show to your RSS channel. Say ‘yes.’

Ewan, thanks for spreading the word about my humble show. Matt and the team at Electronic Arts are doing interesting work- it’s a rough business. Maybe this will give some of your listeners with dreams of a career in gaming some inspiration. Of course, if any of them want to KEEP listening to my show they’re always welcome.
Thanks again. The TPN family is dysfunctional but we support each other.
