AI summary · From the event listing

99% Invisible and WBUR’s Endless Thread team up for *Hidden Levels*, a six-part series about how video games left the arcade and started reshaping the real world. These stories go beyond high scores and consoles, tracing how a joystick became the bridge between people and machines, how a Chicago basketball game turned into a cultural phenomenon, and how the Army built its own first-person shooter to reach new recruits. The main series runs across both podcast feeds, with extra “side quest” episodes on Endless Thread. Whether you are a lifelong gamer or have never picked up a controller, *Hidden Levels* uncovers how games have quietly changed culture, technology, and the way we see the world. *Hidden Levels* was created by Ben Brock Johnson and hosted by Roman Mars and Ben Brock Johnson. You can find *Hidden Levels here or* in the 99% Invisible and the Endless Thread feed on SiriusXM, Pandora, or wherever you get your podcasts.
