New Year - New Podcast

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

First of all friends, please go subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSHBlPhuCd1sDOdNANCwjrA

That's the new YouTube Channel for the new Noclip Podcast.

- "New podcast? But you only release two episodes of the last one?"

Well. We've got some big plans. So let me explain...

Over the past two years we've spent a lot of time weighing up which stories we can afford to do. This is both an issue of money and time. We're a small crew and so we have to turn down three or four times as many projects as we take on. This means that many stories, regardless of how important or interesting they are, just don't make the cut.

I started the podcast to try and scoop up some of these stories. Smaller stories that were worth telling, but perhaps not worth investing thousands of dollars and weeks of our time on. I made the creative decision to make these highly edited, radio-doc style podcasts as I enjoy creating this type of work and thought it helped me crunch big, complicated stories into shorter run-times. I still love doing this style of podcast, and we're still going to do these (we have one coming out in a few days) - but the focus of the podcast is going to fundamentally shift very soon.

We're making the Noclip Podcast a more regular thing. Less edited, more conversational, hosted by me, with some of the biggest and most important names in the industry in the other seat. There is no podcast out there right now that does this. A weekly invitational podcast with the biggest names in games (devs, media and otherwise) willing to come on and chew the fat. That's what we're aiming for with the Noclip Podcast. 

This is happening on the same feed as before, so you don't have to do anything (except sub that new YouTube channel if you want to) and we're still going to do the highly edited podcasts from time to time. They'll be on the same feed under the subtitle "Stories". 

By the way, if you didn't know we had a podcast or haven't subscribed, here are the various feeds you can connect to:

We're aiming big for this one. I've already got some pretty exciting names lined up and will be playing with the format over the first few episodes. But generally I wanted to have something a bit more regular for all of you, and something exciting for me to pursue on a weekly basis. To help to establish Noclip as a name within the games coverage world and to hopefully grow our audience, our patrons and influence over the course of 2019.

Expect our third Noclip Podcast Story later this week (with Rami Ismail, all about representation of Islamic Culture in games). After that we're gonna take it in an exciting new direction. $5 Patrons will get these early just like before. Thanks so much for your support in 2018. It really helped steady the ship, and we're planning to grow a lot more in 2019.

Let me know what you think!

TL;DR
- Noclip Podcast is going weekly this year
- Less edited, more conversational
- Loads of fun guests coming on to chat
- Edited episodes will be specials that appear in the feed every now and then.
