As you may have spotted, the PocketGamer.biz team is growing, with a whole new cast of characters to help it cover the ever-evolving world of mobile gaming. In this episode of the PocketGamer.biz podcast, we welcome Iwan and Lewis, the first two new members of the team to introduce themselves and talk about their first steps into the world of mobile gaming. As experienced console gamers, how are they finding the concepts of hybrid monetisation, alternative app stores and hypercasual hits?
