Gamertagged: Digital Identities. Real Stories.

Gamertagged: Digital Identities. Real Stories.

Gamertagged is a gaming podcast about digital identity, gamertag origins, storytelling, and how the names we choose define who we become online. We tell the real stories behind gamer tags and online personas — one identity at a time. Hosted by the team of artists, editors, and gamers at Gamertagged Studios, each episode features a creator, streamer, or deeply online human unpacking how their name came to be, what it represents, and how identity evolves through games, platforms, and community. From cozy lore-masters to digital wanderers, Gamertagged captures the emotional truth of life online — in a podcast that values transformation over trend, and story over spectacle. The Format: Story, Persona, Re-Roll Every episode follows a 3-part journey into identity, creativity, and community: The Origin – Where the tag came from The Evolution – How the persona grew through games and community The ReRoll – A co-created trading card capturing the guest’s digital self The ReRoll Segment We close each episode by collaboratively crafting a visual representation of the guest’s digital persona — an official Gamertagged Trading Card. It’s part character design, part self-reflection, and always true to the guest’s vibe. Each card becomes a living artifact of who they are in digital space, featured in an evolving gallery at gamertaggedpodcast.com that celebrates identity in all its forms. 🎧 New episodes drop every other Thursday. 🎮 Explore episodes, trading cards, and community links: linktr.ee/gamertagged You selected your character. You defined your gamertag. You built your persona. Now tell us your story.

What if your truest self only shows up when you hit “Go Live”?
