Edge Guard is a leisure podcast hosted by Blake Beckett and Jordan Pruett. It has 197 episodes, with the latest published April 2022.

Edge Guard is a podcast about video games on the fringe: games at the unexplored edges of itch.io, student games, experimental releases, and more. Each week, two friends—one with a degree in game design, one studying games in an English grad program—play and discuss a different game from the edges of gaming, focusing on what their developers get right rather than what doesn’t quite work. From diamonds in the rough to the weirdest of the weird, Edge Guard finds games worth playing.
