Five star podcast! Five! Star! Runtme!
God bringing Clem in to the other team's downtime was SO GOOD. She is such a TOTAL SHIT and Jack is doing a great job.
I'm digging Valence being a cool intelligent cloud dude. He comes from a people called the "Nobel" and he's a gas? Nice. Spectacular. Love it.

God DAMMIT I didn't even connect that until you said it. He probably designed the entire character around that pun.
I know I would lol.

In the latest episode of Waypoint Radio Austin let drop that his bosses at Vice pressured him to drop Friends at the Table or "bring it in house." Wow, fuck that! He rightly refused, because FatT isn't his to unilaterally turn over to Vice like that. I seriously doubt Jeff Gerstmann would have ever asked him to drop a side project like that, lots of other GB editors have side podcasts.
I really kinda wish he had stayed at Giant Bomb. It seems like his experience running Waypoint really soured him on the whole industry, but I loved the freelance writing work he was bringing in to GB, and I feel like Jeff was supportive of the idea because Alex kept doing it for a while after Austin left. The folks at GB get more leeway since they're subscription driven, and text articles are super cheap content to run compared to the video GB predominantly deals in.
