The Sad Lunch Club is a podcast co-created by Kaitlyn Fung and Vikki Hui for JRNL 400 Feminist Postcolonial Critique and Journalism in a Digital Age at the University of British Columbia. In this pilot episode, we discussed The Waiting Game co-created by ProPublica and Playmatics, and considered the successes and failures of the project in the context of newsgames and journalism in general.
