Idle Thumbs is a video game culture website and podcast network founded in 2004.
It features a weekly video game podcast of the same name hosted by former and current video game journalists and developers Chris Remo (Campo Santo, formerly Double Fine Productions), Nick Breckon (Telltale Games), Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman (Campo Santo, formerly Telltale Games), and James Spafford (Double Fine Productions, formerly Media Molecule).
Other podcasts hosted by the site include Three Moves Ahead, a strategy game podcast hosted by Troy Goodfellow and Rob Zacny; the Idle Book Club, discussing a selection of modern and classic literature; Terminal7, a Netrunner podcast hosted by Nels Anderson and Jesse Turner; Tone Control, where former "Thumb" regular Steve Gaynor interviews notable video game developers; Idle Weekend, a sister podcast to Idle Thumbs hosted by Danielle Riendeau and Rob Zacny; and DOTA Today, about the trials and travails of Lords Management while playing Dota 2. The network has also launched a series of television viewing podcasts such as Twin Peaks Rewatch, The End of Mad Men, and True Detective Weekly.
The current run of the Idle Thumbs podcast and related announcements were the result of a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that concluded in March 2012. The campaign reached its $30,000 goal within two hours and concluded with a funding total of $136,924.
