"It's all about just being really curious" with Victoria Tran
Today’s guest is Victoria Tran, Games Communications Director at InnerSloth, the studio behind Among Us. She’s also the creator of the Community Dev Newsletter, an organizer of the Wholesome Games Initiative, and the author of the upcoming book Mastering Community Management.
In this episode, Victoria shares how she “accidentally” became a community manager—and ended up one of the most respected voices in the field. From moderating Discord servers to playing Among Us with politicians like AOC, her journey is packed with surprising moments and hard-earned wisdom.
This episode is full of practical insights and real talk about what it's like to be the public face of a game with millions of passionate (and vocal) players.
