Interscription: Recent Episodes
Interscription
A weekly podcast about all things tech, gaming, pop culture and life from two hosts who love to hear themselves speak and think you will too.
In this broad episode we talk about the new Dune and the hope that they actually finish it next time. We also talk about the Marcodi Harpejji a beautiful Frankenstein monster of a keyboard a guitar and a cheese board.
This week's pod finds us discussing Xbox's gentle brushing against multiplatform experiences, and a quick stop in Meta's Verse to see how their Vision of the future might yield fruit.
In episode 2 of our new season, Rich dives deep on physical modeling instruments as part of his goal to avoid samples on hit upcoming album. We swim along with swam, and touch on the unavoidable elephant on everyone's face, the Apple Vision Pro, digesting the early reviews, some of which seem stunningly level-headed (a challenge for both Apple products and reviewing heavy things you wear on your face).
In our New Years' episode we kick off season 3 by discussing our plans for the upcoming year. We are reconfiguring Interscription to support our passion projects in music and gaming production. We'll have regular updates, talk about plugins, tools, technique and industry, and still cover the things we love. Thanks for staying on this road with us!
We have pushed through mountains of turkey and sweet potato casserole to bring you this week’s episode, listeners! Rich and I are occupying the same physical room for this week’s show, covering two topics: the role of digital audio workstations in modern music rendering, and a video-free unboxing of a Legion Go...LIVE and ON AIR.
It is factual that mobile gaming is still gaming, and this week we’re playing with words in a whole new light as Rich and I trade mobile word games live! Marvel fatigue also continues to be real, and a not-so-gentle reminder that iMessage is just better, and your faith is just not strong enough.
Is Star Trek too silly? Does watching old people on TV suck? Are drugs bad for you? And how many emails are too many? Rich and I attempt to answer these questions, but mostly have discovered that coffee is probably the answer to all questions, and if it isn’t, keep drinking boys and girls!Covering Star Trek Discovery, For All Mankind, Super Mario Wonder and More!
After I traversed a nearly unhealthy amount of the Northeast this week, it’s time to settle down in front of a microphone and talk about portable gaming. Rich regales us with a Legion of where handheld gaming can Go given enough sweat equity and kitchen sink. And rich people towns have been measured and found wanting! (Lenovo Legion Go Review)
In the spirit of Halloween (the original one, not the retail store), we’ve reanimated Rich over a dose of Nyquil and spooky Eagles green to get a quick and dirty podcast about a few things we’ve been watching and experiencing this past week. Join us as we chat about assassins, baby stealers and scary writers, and maybe just a touch too much football.
After a brief and unexpected hiatus from the airwaves, we have returned to your weekly experience, dear listeners! Our journey this week takes us through a pair of puzzle (and sometimes puzzling) games, a horror movie with Those Damned Kids in it, and a PS5 price increase, all leading to some commentary on Meta’s new VR/AR headset.
There is little question that our world would be a fair bit better if it were filled with all assassins, all aliens or all pirates, but instead we have too many politicians. Rich and I discuss The Continental, No One Will Save You, and One Piece on our media consumption tour, and take some time to meander about the 2nd Republican Debates, as well as a few moments on the WGA strike victory.
It is with great pains that I bring you the news of the week, gentle listenership – we're talking about Microsoft stuff for a whole damned hour! Our topics du jour include a mammoth leak of pending plans for the Xbox division, a few notable announcements from the Tokyo Games Showcase, the Surface-but-totally-AI event in NYC this week, and a quick mention of ActiBlizzard fun.
While we did not take a break from watching television and movies this week, our ever-objective gaze was cast primarily on the Apple Wanderlust press event for 2023, where we were reminded that people wearing smartwatches are alive because of it, that tapping is the new swiping, and that a customizable button is as new and fresh as a USB-C port. Oh and Mother Nature is Octavia Spencer for five minutes.
It’s a double header of engrossing (or just grossing)content, as Rich and I discuss Beau Is Afraid along with this week’s full release of Bethesda’s Starfield. We also briefly pause to give our reviews of soccer weather, Jackson Pollock paintings, and John Wick 4’s law enforcement problem, most of which are topics we are quite qualified to discuss!
Well met, Star Travelers! We take to the cosmos this week on a path towards this week’s early access release of Starfield. I spend a few moments exploring Nordic mythology in my review of Bramble: The Mountain King, and we stare dreamily into Idris Elba’s eyes while appreciating the romp that is Hijack. And we’ve finally answered the question: are they gay?
Back in the land of proper professional audio, Rich and I relish in the extraordinary headroom and high fidelity of good gear to bring you this week’s episode. We take a few moments to chat about Avatar 2, stop off in Cologne, Germany for Gamescom 2023, and express rage and disappointment at Sony stealing another of Microsoft’s moves.
Another week of jam-packed schedules and alternative methods of recording is in store for us all, but Rich and I managed to bring it all together! With precious little media consumption time this week, I managed to eek out a viewing of Sisu, and Rich dances with angels and titans. Also, as my son said so many years ago, “Texas is damned hot.”
It's a week of Discovery here on the Interscription pod, full of learnings on the inner workings of our political systems in the United States, Cintra and Nilfgard. I finally crack into Star Trek Discovery, and a week of completed seasons of shows are discussed, culminating in a pine-e promise to watch the Barbie Movie before we reconvene.
This week’s particular stretch of podcast road is done LIVE and IN PERSON, with Rich and I winging it on bellies full of burger and brew. Topics include just how zany Strange New Worlds can get, and a staggeringly deep dive on the form factors available to us on the new crop of foldable phones introduced at this year’s Samsung Unpacked 2023.
“I don’t WANT to play anymore”, so sayeth your favorite podcast hosts. Today’s spirited interchange of ideas whisks us through being engaged in all the wrong places through social media. We thankfully stop our rambling train at the station to discuss AI and its diabolical implications on artists, and a small visit to some games I’ve been playing to pass the time until the robots come.
A lawyer's work is never done, and this has never been more true for our beer-enjoying on-staff legal representative, Rich. We delve into the totally-not-final ruling of Judge Corley on the FTC v. Microsoft PI hearing, and I bid adieu to a tale of a plague, while holding up the coffee end of The Dehydration Duo.
Rats! Another week, another Twitter competitor enters the chat here in the tech world. In a short-by-explosive episode, Rich and I tackle the multitude of potential usurpers to Elon's new 44 billion dollar toy, as well as a moment or two on stealth games and the inquisition.
It would be a fine time for Rich and I to escape to the virtual world amidst the second round of smokey skies this year, and a freshly damaged roof situation. Stay awhile as Rich discusses the stunning scale of Norse mythology in Asgard’s Wrath, and I chat a bit about how gross medieval rats are. Too, this week would not be complete without not-so-quick stop in court to see how fair and balanced the FTC is being in the Microsoft-ABK merger proceedings.
This week is dominated by a round table (if a table of two can be round?) conversation on the highlights of the Xbox Games Showcase earlier this month. We also are provided with expert legal analysis on the extremely current and shockingly exciting developments in the Microsoft ABK merger, but not before Rich and I share very different experiences in connected online games.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
One of our shortest and sweetest episodes yet, we navigate a brief by fun tour of Asus' new portable handheld the ROG Ally, with a small stop at sci-fi ship shooter Chorus, and round it out with a celebration death knell for spinning platter hard drives Thanks for staying on this road with us!
June brings with it a great many tech shows and season finales, so Rich and I are here to bring you our thoughts of those very things! Listen this week as I refuse anything but a gold star for Barry, wade through the sea of animation that comprises Across The Spiderverse, and then engage in a lengthy discussion on Apple’s WWDC announcements, with a special focus on Vision Pro spatial computing aspirations. Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It’s a death-defying episode of media and tech review this week, with a full segment dedicated to the world’s favorite Max show, the Succession Finale, and another dedicated towards escaping this world for the one Zuckerberg promises us with a VR overview and quick review for a noob to the meta quest pro. And a tease at a second podcast that we cooked up on the fly about making furniture! Thanks for staying on this road with us!
In a rather uncharacteristic move for we the stewards of your consumable content, Rich and I spend the majority of this week’s episode discussing Sony’s Playstation Showcase for 2023. We cover the highs and lows of the announced games and the lows of the announced hardware. Oh, and a quick stop on why Nate sucks. Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Another week has come and gone with Rich and I discussing the world of pop music, among other well-informed topics by your favorite podcasting duo. Enjoy a tailored episode of gaming reviews while Rich swiftly delivers his thoughts on Ghostwire: Tokyo and a staggering 15 minutes of Redfall. We also strike atthe bloody heart of the WGA negotiations, and whether their opposition will shake them off at the bargaining table.Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Soaring through the AI-generated minds at Google, we spend our time parsing this week’s I/O conference, dreaming of a world where devices are flexible and priced fairly. A quick stop in handheld PC gaming is also on our docket this week, discussing the Asus ROG Ally announcement, the future of Windows handhelds, and Rich Tripping the Tokyo Fantastic.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It’s been a pretty terrifically tough week for Microsoft with the one-two punch of the UK’s CMA ruling, and a less-than-charitable reception for Redfall in the press. Fear not, though, as Phil Spencer takes to the virtual airwaves with pragmatism and humility, while giving us a strong foundation to discuss Microsoft’s current position in the gaming universe this week.Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Nuns with complicated relationship dynamics? A Steam Deck with an extra helping of Win and juice? Legal kung-fu? Allow us to be your age-appropriate elected officials as we navigate the labyrinthine world of tech rumors, tech competition, and a small thing called The Presidency.

Cath Crowley said, “If you don’t want a generation of robots, fund the arts!” Rich and I are here to answer all of the world’s questions when robots are the ones making art, and what might be left for us poor meatbags and our dwindling supply of horses. Speaking of Beef, we speak further on the completed season, and take a moment to praise Barry, the best television ever, according to your favorite two robots.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
If you’re feeling a little bit emotionally askew, allow us to prop you up while we electrify you with the thoughtful discussion on movies and shows we’ve experienced this last week. As always, we want to increase engagement, enhance retention, strengthen performance and optimize monetization in our sitting room of media exploration.
Thanks for STANDING on this road with us!
Pull up an expensive and well-intentioned virtue seat here at the Interscription podcast, gentle listeners! As half the world celebrates a resounding success for Tuesday, we concentrate on a great many items, new and evergreen, including our Life’s True Potential as Podcasters, shows that are and are not Half Bad, and whether any of us have grooved hard enough today.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Back at this for our Season 2 Premiere episode, Rich and I find out that Internet is a utility, Star Trek CAN be great again, and Donald Glover is generally never wrong. I take fleeting moment to praise a small slice of Succession, we replace Extrapolation on our watchlist, and we even take the time to be grumpy old men about advertising on paid services.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
To the surprise and delight of all (or at least, your humble podcast hosts), we have arrived at a full year of weekly podcasts! Rich andI reflect on the journey thus far, and the road not yet traveled. We also chat on a couple of Oscar contenders, a masterful McEvoy performance, and sex-crazed Russian refrigerators.
Thanks for staying on this road with us! All Year Long!
This week’s podcast was truly a miraculous deliverance, intentioned with ideas and musings on the content we love and love to share. Come with us on our detour towards how vile copyright can be to the consumption and preservation of art, and my subsequent incongruent by-the-numbers assessment of The Last of Us against its groundswell of support by the Playstation faithful. Perhaps Tom Petty said it best when he shared, “As we celebrate mediocrity, all the boys upstairs want to see. How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free.”
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
By the skin of our teeth we crossed this week’s finish line of the podcast race, dear listeners! While I struggle through a temporary podcasting workstation this week, discussions of two totally current TV shows have indeed occurred. We also lament some delayed games for 2023, while simultaneously praising Rich’s near clairvoyant power to forsee Starfield’s new later release
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It’s as fine a week as any to welcome our robot overlords! We have a totally non-AI-powered podcast for you, fine listeners, tackling a good Star Wars game from yore, and a pair of movies now fully digested by the both of us for proper commentary. There’s even a pour-out for the Nevers sequel movie that only exists in our heads and...in Bing’s datacenters now, I guess.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Who knew that lawyering could be both fun AND informative? Your loyal podcasting team here at Interscription, that’s who! A fond farewell is bid to our Victorian X-women in our review of Part 2 of The Nevers, a touch of controversy (always good for flavor) is in discussion around The Last of Us, and we dive a bit into Microsoft’s ongoing stratagems to acquire ABK.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
We have arrived in an alternate dimension where I am talking about football for longer than the sport deserves! Please send help (and properly accessible copies of The Nevers) as we find more things to complain about, like technology not listening to us, and how upsells in productivity software is hella lame.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
What better time than now for us to inspect the State of OUR Union here at Interscription, a place where politics, mushrooms, Nazis and cel-shading get equal air time! This week’s haul is rife with connection, with relationships, and with 8’s across the board. Join our week in review on shows current and less-so, and even a rhythm-filled Rush of Hi-Fidelity in our nod of gaming.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It was Nicholas Johnson who said, “A viewer who skips the advertising is the moral equivalent of a shoplifter.” Steal away an hour of your time with us as we waywardly wind through a myriad of topics, ranging from how to advertise to people in this new world, a couple of dystopian shows to be hopeful for, and a chat around the lawful use of our precious Netflix accounts.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Rich rides to the rescue this week to carry most of the talking while I am on the mend and full of throat lozenges and vitamin C. We take some time to chat on the topic of digital wellness, beat up Servant for the subpar repeating mess that it is, and take a walk through the announcements from Microsoft’s Xbox Developer Direct show.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Just in under the wire, Rich and I get a Friday recording prepared for you, gentle listeners! Journey with us as we offer some caught-up thoughts on Gangs of London, and the pokey genius of Servant’s first season. We make a stop at Microsoft fumbling the ball on a couple of optics, and the frustrations around air travel under less than comfortable circumstances.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
CES came and went, and much to our chagrin, only one flying car was announced! Come on this 2023 journey with us while we explore the poor choices of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association during the Golden Globes, whether or not we’re destined to be relegated to our homesteads for all time, and whether coconut belongs on anything, let alone cookies.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Ringing in the New Year with quality podcasting content is a two-player game, and Rich and I are up to the task! The winter break, coupled with a healthy dose of not being healthy, has given way to some much needed media catchup. Join us as we chat about shows and games old and new, and remind the audience that Netflix can break our collective hearts as well.
We talk about Gangs of London, Favorite shows of 2022, A First season take on the Halo show, Slow Horses, and games, including West of Dead, Neon White, Dysmantle and revisiting Jedi Fallen Order in Storyteller mode.
Where has the time gone? And what were the best and most entertaining ways we spent that time? I finish this year out solo, tissues and cough drops at the ready to share my favorite 2022 experiences in games, movies and TV shows, as well as my predictions for the same in 2023. Have the best and most rewarding 2023, and...
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
The FTC is continuing to spread holiday cheer to all those who might congregate a bit too closely this time of year, gifting a $520 Million fine to Epic Games. Rich and I spill more than a few words on family safety for online gaming, and stumble headlong into the Internet of Things and the new Matter standard. Happy holidays to all, and...
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the stream, HBO Max and Warnermedia have decided to execute some popular and beloved properties, leaving us to navigate more ethically murky streaming waters if we want to experience their content. A detour back into the FTC complaint towards Microsoft’s pending acquisition is in order, and we wrap with a quick rundown of some TV and gaming stops for our past week.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
The Game Awards are here, brimming with world premiere trailers, celebrity surprises, and, in a totally surprising upset, approximately 412 wins for God of War: Ragnarok. Rich and I wind through our impressions of the reveals, as well as a brief bit catching up on all of the recent Activision-Blizzard-King acquisition news.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Welcome To Interscription
We have returned from the US Thanksgiving holiday filled with cheer, football, pie and stories about bigger TVs. This week has us tackling Rich’s completed thoughts on Deathloop, a great pitch to me on getting around to Andor finally, and some nods to this month in gaming history.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
As the slide into Thanksgiving in America here in 2022 is in full effect, we reflect on the only right way to cranberry, why pie and steak are basically the same, and yes, TV shows and movies too. George Miller’s newest movie, the shambling end of The Walking Dead, and Rich People Doing Stuff At Hotels are our targets this week, along with finding sweatpants to accommodate our lust for desserts. Happy Turkey Day!
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Contrary to popular opinion, homework is in fact fun! Join us this week as we work through a trio of Game Pass releases and their various flavors, and make a stop in Wakanda for the new Black Panther movie. And Rich categorically answers the question, “What’s in a score?”
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
With a veritable avalanche of patches, updates and pre-Christmas blockbuster titles launching, this week is all about the games! Join us as we meander through the conversation of first party games and their place in an evolving landscape of subscription services, making a stop at some worthwhile upgrades to some established games, and a quick chat about the final deets on the PSVR2 before its launch this February.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
An unexpected detour on today’s topics has Rich and I share musings on home servers for normal people (not a thing) and a small chat on the staggering proportions of the zombie apocalypse. Such things moved us towards the idea of digital permanence and ownership, and motions on Taylor Swift were also asked and answered, as though anyone might be concerned about such matters.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Welcome To Interscription
It has been widely suggested by professors and theologians that sports of all kinds are awful, and that social media is worse still. I find myself taking the “opening” out of “opening comments” for this week’s podcast, while Rich helps us land on more media-relevant topics such as Amazon’s new sci-fi series, and a finale with Just Not Enough Dragons.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
This week’s podcast was of such epic proportions, it spanned two days and incalculable cups of coffee to produce! This MAY have been due to some poor dietary choices on my part, but...meh... We spend some time smashing the finale of She-Hulk to pieces, give the Rings of Power a sendoff, and chat a bit on watches, as well as a gross video game that repulses at every turn, both in visuals and gameplay.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
All rise! Rich has re-entered the building! We spend this week catching up on the fantastic fantasy duo, a great pre-review of Arkane’s Deathloop on Xbox, and unbiased She-Hulk thoughts as only we can provide. Kudos are also shared with the Bitwig team for walking back a rather silly choice in business strategy. And yes, Yorkshire Pudding is celebrated somewhere, and by someone?
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It’s an “Oops All Tim!” episode where I bash the collective consciousness in with my thoughts on more of our two fantasy shows. Find out whether this gentleman prefers Blonde, whether Overwatch 2 respects your queue time, and if Google’s newest shot at a vertical ecosystem is worth your attention!
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It could be said that we are covered in an Earl-y Deluge of news this week, but truly it is only us ranting about Rings and Dragons again. We also make a stop on a responsible treatment of e-waste in this replaceable electronics society, and the final step towards Darth Vader’s transformation into an inhuman form by way of digitizing his actor’s voice.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
We have an explosive week of Booty, QA, leaks, and AI discussion, bringing with it our mental digestions on triple A experiences, the place robots hold in our industry, and the world’s first live multiple choice segue. Where does it all end?
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It’s a catch-up week here at the Interscription Labs! Topics for the week include Sony’s sour grapes about Activision, a quick collection of thoughts on the new user interface that Xbox is testing for their consoles, and a double-feature redux on pressers by both Nintendo and Playstation on the eve of Tokyo Games Show.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
We are swimming in dragon-saturated waters on this week's episode, as we give a veritable round of applause for the good amount of high fantasy TV in our diets. There's also a healthy chunk of eye-rolling at the mess that continues to be Halo: Infinite, and a quick rundown of pending delights in Game Pass. Oh, and a set of fun predictions for Apple's Event that is not to be missed!
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It’s our back-to-school sleepytime episode! We compare the directorial prowess (shown and not shown) in both The Bear and The Sandman, and keep the cryptic party going on “that thing” in The Bear’s finale. I also curse the day that Cursed To Golf is brought into my life.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It’s time to drink and smoke and be merry on our 21stepisode. We discuss the announcements this week at Gamescom and the Opening Night Live show, a house positively brimming with dragons, and what is worse: disposing of virtual waste for a living or having to play golf to save your soul. And how accurate IS this Battle Simulator?
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
It’s our 20th episode! Along with some celebration we talk about building in the open and the direction for Interscription’s future. We also cover the season finales of WestWorld and Better Call Saul, finding common themes in the ways they bring Aaron Paul back to life, and differences in what they do with his reanimated corpse. We close out with news of everything leaving (and some of what’s coming) to Game Pass to keep us busy as back to school looms large.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
This week’s discussion brings us through a web of well-oiled yet unanswered questions, and takes us from the dawn of time and an interstellar hunter’s chosen weaponry through the mysteries of rebooting a narrative without an exit strategy. But mostly, Spiderman is coming to PC, and all is now right with the world.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
In this desert of tech news, Tim located a Steam Deck, and has a few initial impressions of the docked experience, as well as a quick take on performance of a few titles. We also cram in a couple of opinions and thoughts on Nope and Moonhaven, while blowing away our listeners with the extensive research we did on those two properties.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Today we head into the high seas to talk a bit about eh ethics of archiving streaming services. We hit on the problems of content in a world of “death by a thousand services” and the need for a unified experience. We also are unanimous in our love of cinnamon toast crunch that keeps the scurvy away, and whether it’s okay to go back in time to fix that arrrrr rating.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Join us in today’s discussion where we share our grossly unqualified opinions on representation in media, our overly qualified opinions on gaming, and our ever-questionably qualified opinions on pixel art.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Today’s episode is a celebration of initial thoughts and impressions of Rich’s new Steam Deck, along with questions answered and new ones considered for the long term of the device. Tune is as we open the Valve on our curiosities around this new gaming machine, and push full Steam ahead on exploring its capabilities.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Today we dive into the world of TV with Stranger things, night sky (which was canceled within seconds of us recording this episode) and white lotus, and the exploration of multiple storylines within a single narrative. We also cover some of the games we’ve been playing, which takes us from the importance of pixels to the wordless exploration of the journey, never the destination.
Thanks for staying on this road with us.
Welcome To Interscription. It’s another slow news week as we tackle Akai’s new MPC Key 61, a discussion of West World’s Season 4 opener and its place in the wider arc of their universe, and a quick update on what else we’re watching.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
This week I’m flying solo while Rich is on assignment – I'll be talking about some TV shows I’ve been watching, a killer co-op throwback game, and delving into my super qualified tech opinions about iOS 16 changes.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
This week’s episode is jam packed with all of the game announcements from the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase. We talk about shiny cars, hot wheel cars, vampires, fighters, space zombies, talking guns, fuzzles and everyone’s favorite giant space RPG.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Welcome to Interscription! This week’s episode is a selection of news from Apple’s WWDC developer conference, some reviews of TV shows and movies we’ve watched, and why the world (and Succession) doesn’t deserve Matthew MacFayden. We also tease a brief look of our games coverage for next week’s show.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
Welcome to Interscription! For today’s episode, we experiment with a live response to Sony’s State of Play. We watch, you listen, It’s a multimedia experience. We also talk about shows getting made from games, including God of War, Horizon, and a recap of the stumbles of the first season of Halo. Mostly, we’re just really excited that Spider Man is coming to PC.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
This week’s show centered on the idea of news and reporting in the twitter age, the responsibility of the individual and the collective in reporting, and whether accuracy is a subjective necessity as things are shared. In far lighter topics, a quick rundown of Primus’ new Rush-flavored tour, and what it’s like to stare at the Night Sky for 8 hours.
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
You might not appreciate flow, but that’s because you haven’t heard OUR flow! Join us while we discuss the Epic Games Mega Sale, the latest Elon Musk fun, how much Trek is too much Trek, and …. A deep dive into whether we’re paying attention to any of it any way...taps mic
Thanks for staying on this road with us!
For this week, we took a healthy chunk of time to discuss the old-but-new-again OP-1 synth, with the newly released “field” update, and why it’s the belle of the technorati ball. We also poke at Microsoft’s difficulties with this past weekend’s Xbox Live outage, and sprinkle our disappointment about Starfield and Redfall being delayed into 2023 on top! Thanks for staying on this road with us!
On the pod we talk about Microsoft's upcoming "E3" the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, and the hope for a solid hit with Starfield. We talk about the push to bring "seasons" into games, where it works, and where it falls flat, and dive into "woke" Trek and Sci-Fi's role as a messenger for our better selves.
We take a deep dive into the possible impact good and bad of Elon Musk's Twitter takeover. Then, we spill into some of the related ways our lives have become inescapably polarized as we lose common ground and silo ourselves away from our neighbors instead of chatting and disagreeing. We also chat about Playstation's new subscription tiers.
In our third episode, we chat about the state of streaming services, the benefits of home servers, and in a truly meta moment discuss how a home tech problem was solved in the easiest possible way only to be overrun with tech problems recording the show. This is an episode in two parts, closing out Friday morning with coffee and not quite awake, brought to you through the magic of Bitwig. Enjoy, Subscribe, reach out with feedback or topics you'd like to hear us cover.
In Episode 2 we talk a bit about the role of first party games in console launches, celebrating the launch of Switch Sports. We get a bit personal about why we're podcasting, and get into Everything Everywhere All at Once and the value of movie theaters as we dig out of two years of living in our homes. Every episode is the best episode we've ever made. We're building in the open and making sure we do things right. Come grow with us!
In our first non beta episode we kick off with a new theme song by our host Rich, chat about ray tracing and why Minecraft on Xbox should have it, the future of trade shows as E3 announces cancellation of the 2022 show, a game-changing Plex announcement and more. A quick shoutout to Twisted Electrons and the Blast Beats, which was the audio toy that was being played with off-camera. Twisted Electrons is an amazing indie synth shop with a specialty for building unique synths out of old chips this one from an FM synth chip featured on soundblaster cards in the 90s.
Fans of betas? Abusive use of a soundboard? Like your podcasts without intros or structures while your hosts figure out how to podcast? You've come to the right place. In this pre-launch episode, Tim and Rich talk Tunic, the possibility of Microsoft adding a family plan to Gamepass, Sony's new streaming offering and more. We also smash the applause button for ourselves a few times to make sure it works.
Interscription is a Tech, Gaming, and Culture podcast by two podcasters with kids, careers and a love of all things creative content. We're basically doing what we'd be doing anyway - yammering on about all the things we love, but we hit the record button.
