Help Needed: Noclip Podcast Producer

Hey folks!The Noclip Podcast has always enjoyed a healthy audience, but when things have gotten busy its been among our lowest priorities.Its format has always been a reflection of the production time I could give it. Which as somebody who edits multiple documentaries a month, runs a Patreon and manages a media company - is not that much. It started out as a highly-edited story time series, returned as a more standard interview podcast and even had a stint as a place for the Noclip team to catch...

VOD LINK: https://youtu.be/3kFbXQ_3FAoHello Patrons!First an update for this tier: It's been a while since we talked as the vote for Greatest Hits #03 happened while I was flying to Ireland for the rest of the month.

[Early Access Cut] Deathloop Developer Breaks Down its Design

UNLISTED YOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAwctoFA9E0 (1080p/60 is ready / 4k version looks like it's still processing)So this is exciting!I'm not sure why it took me so long to figure this out. But I realized in-lieu of doing big studio docs for a little while there was nothing stopping us from reaching out to devs of new games and creating short, punchy, remote features. So now we have a 20 minutes feature on Deathloop's design that took us only a few days to produce. ...
