Hey look! The SuperCoolCast is back! We’ve got a whole new season lined up for you and we’re kicking off with an absolutely epic interview with the genius behind Noclip, Danny O’Dwyer.

Ep 17: Danny O'Dwyer, Noclip

Way back when, in May 2016, I was due to host a Rocket Jump Event in Guildford. At the last minute I had a message from the organiser, Dan, to let me know that the headlining speaker had pulled out at the last minute and did I know of anyone that may be able to take their place. With just a few days to go until the event itself, I started racking my brains. I had been kicking around the idea of starting a podcast... and when I started to think about whether it would be possible to trial run the podcast at the event my heart started beating insanely fast, which tends to mean I'm on to something and regardless of the fear I should do it. I contacted my good friend Jess, pitched it to her and asked if she may be able to put a powerpoint together of her entire career in the next couple of days. She could. My heart started beating even faster. I was about to trial run my podcast, bitches! Jess and I did an excellent interview at the Rocket Jump Event, which you can find on the 'info' tab of this website, and she promised me that when the company she'd just started had an announcement to make she would come and interview for the podcast FOR REAL... and here she is! With a very exciting announcement about what she and the rest of Salix Games are working on... 

Ep 16: Jessica Saunders, Salix Games

You asked for it - or at least some of you did - and there's a good chance you're gonna regret it because here we are... the interviewer becomes the interviewee... Thankfully I have been in the industry nearly a decade so I have experience to draw on and stories to tell: How I broke into games, how I got into community, mental health, Lionhead (of course, like I can stop talking about that ;)). There's some good advice buried in there somewhere... I hope you find it :P

Ep 15: Lauran Carter, Xbox HQ

Monetisation Designer, maths wizard and lovely man Ian Griffiths joins me for a relaxed chat about what he does, how he does it... and why. You'll love this!

Ep 14: Ian Griffiths, Product Owner, Hutch Games

Yet again a real life hero of mine has joined me for a chat. This podcast business is working out alright, huh?! Now look, I have something to tell you. In this episode, and in this very blurb in fact, you are going to hear the term 'feminism'. Please don't be scared. I promise you you'll enjoy it! Liana Kerzner has had a fantastically varied career - from smashing viewing figures in Canada whilst presenting her show Ed & Red's Night Party, to forging her own path as a games journalist, to her awesome YouTube channel and series on a Gamers Guide to Feminism... Liana holds no punches and is one of the few voices tackling big issues in our industry right now. If you want to learn more about her, just keep an eye on her twitter and YouTube! One of the many things I love about Liana is that she is extremely engaged with her audience.  If you wanna check out Liana's kickstarter (although it will be finished by the time you hear the episode - darn my releasing on the first of the month!) Lady Bits, you can do so here and I'll be honest, you really should. It's going to be an incredible series that I for one have backed and am very much looking forward to! 

Ep 13: Liana Kerzner, Content Creator
