Richie Shoemaker 6th October 2023 People, Media & PR

If your first reaction to the above headline is “Hang on, what happened to the last podcast?”, rest assured that it’s still out there, undisturbed since the last episode slipped its moorings in 2016 when its hosts decided to sail elsewhere. (Whatever happened to those guys anyway?)

The new podcast, hosted by yours truly and able first mate Vince Pavey, aims to be much the same as the old one, only with a “/” in place of ” + ” (because, math), and, of course, a new and growing roster of industry guests. Most of all we hope to at least equal the number of episodes our illustrious predecessors managed.

For this first episode we have someone who’s no stranger to MCV, having co-founded the magazine back in 1998 after ten years editing its rival CTW. Dinsey talks about both, as well his time at Ukie, Curve Games and Stevenage FC.

You can check out the episode below, via Spotify, Apple and Google, or wherever you get your podcasts from.

About Richie Shoemaker

Prior to taking the editorial helm of MCV/DEVELOP Richie spent 20 years shovelling word-coal into the engines of numerous gaming magazines and websites, many of which are now lost beneath the churning waves of progress. If not already obvious, he is partial to the odd nautical metaphor.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
