Hardline: The debut of our news-focused video podcast

A new weekly show with your friendly neighborhood Destructoid editors

It’s been an embarrassingly long time coming, but we finally managed to pull ourselves together for a news-focused podcast. We’re calling it Hardline. (That sounds vaguely newsy, right?) To be clear, this is not a replacement for Podtoid — expect news on its return in the near future.

Instead, Hardline is a casual hour-long discussion of the week’s gaming news, recorded live on Wednesdays at 11:00am Pacific via Twitch and released after the fact on YouTube and on iTunes in an audio-only version. If you were a fan of Office Chat on YouTube, it’s like that, only longer, and we’ll be chatting with Destructoid Huge members. The regular cast is going to be Hamza Aziz, Dale North, Steven Hansen, and myself, though travel and otherwise busy schedules will have us rotating in other familiar faces. Special thanks also goes out to Bill Zoeker, our producer.

Thanksgiving threw off our production schedule, so please note that this debut episode covers last week’s stuff. But there’s plenty of weird tangents as well as discussion of our Game of the Year deliberations in there too. We also have a bonus pilot episode in the feeds below.

For the audio-only debut episode of Hardline, you can subscribe on iTunes and RSS, or download directly.
