Remap Radio

Remap Radio is a new podcast from the creators of the long-running video game podcast Waypoint Radio. Join Rob Zacny, Chia Contreras, Patrick Klepek, and their friends and colleagues as they set off on a new adventure that has them obsessing over the video game Dragon’s Dogma nearly as much as they question the nature of capitalism.

With Rob (still) out, Papa Bear returns (again). Patrick, Cado, and Austin recorded this ahead of The Game Awards, which helps explain three hours of talking (extensively) about board games, Cado and Austin attending (but not meeting up at) PAX Unplugged, an unhealthy obsession over (opening packs in) Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, a small amount of Eagles talk, a slightly bigger amount of New Waypoint talk, and more. Plus, Patrick’s been playing (and loving) Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, while Austin’s got thoughts on Mouthwashing and Indika

Discussed: Let me tell you about Netrunner 2:08, PAX Unplugged 26:46, Pokemon Card Game Pocket 49:01, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 1:25:10, Mouthwashing 1:48:35, Indika 1:53:56, Caves of Qud 2:03:51, The Question Bucket 2:0813

Remap Radio 76 – Bug Is Green?

It's the end of the year and Rob has crawled out of the ruins of his home repairs long enough to talk to Axe of the Blood God's Kat Bailey about the ruins and rebuilding opportunities in game journalism. Kat talks about the challenges of making game journalism relevant to the communities most engaged with games, and the challenge of adapting a model that has its origins in print to our fractured digital age. Plus, Kat tells Rob which RPGs he needs to go back to, and tells everyone what is the one RPG they shouldn't miss this year. Then Cado and Rob solve lasers.

Remap Radio 77 - Pew Pew or BRRRRRRR?

The summer is full swing here at Remap, and the folks at the Remap HOA have pool fever. And humidity. Of course, by pool fever, we mean building a pool, then tearing it down because you made a mistake, having a crisis about what it means to be a father, and then fixing those mistakes in the pouring rain, completely draped in mud. Also, why is it so hard to learn stuff?

HOA – We Bought a Pool

We begin 2025 by asking Rob to walk us through the latest advancements in TV technology at CES. Is he there? No. Are we still having visions of 115-inch TVs? Absolutely. Join Patrick, Janet, Cado, and Rob as they mull ridiculous new technologies, reports about the gaming industry’s unsettling outsourcing labor practices, and the fascinating potential future of SteamOS. In The Question Bucket, we ponder which muppet we’d enjoy getting yelled at by.

Discussed: CES is Happening and Rob is Scheming 6:28, NVIDIA Announces New Cards 26:06, SteamOS Using 47:55, People Make Games - 100 Slaps 1:12:28, PSVR 2 1:26:23, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 2:02:35, Lethal Company 2:07:06, Question Bucket 2:10:42

Remap Radio 78 – A 115-inch Podcast

After what feels like years of rumors and speculation, Nintendo formally announced the wholly unexpected Switch 2. We don’t know much about Switch 2 yet, but it sure looks like a slightly bigger and more powerful Switch! Patrick and Cado hopped on some microphones to talk about what we know, what we don’t know, and what we’re hoping to find out in the months ahead.

Remap Bonus – Switch 2 Is Real!

Ahead of recording this podcast, there was discussion about whether the podcast might not go long enough to justify two separate podcast recordings. Folks, we’re happy to report that Janet, Rob, Patrick, and Cado spent nearly four hours on the first few games on their top 10 lists, which means we’ll get lucky to finish our roundtable next week! Once again, we’re using a round robin format, where we only chat about a game when we reach its highest place on someone’s list. That way, we ensure the conversation isn’t exhausted by the time we make it to that game.

Discussed: cado's Honorable Mention 11:08, Patrick's Honorable Mention 14:33, Rob's Honerable Mention 26:29, Janet's Honerable Mention 40:50, cado's 10 47:07, Patrick 10 1:04:14, Rob's 10 1:13:46, cado's 9 1:14:41, Patrick's 9 1:28:23, Rob's 9 1:43:10, Janet's 9 1:55:12 cado's 8 2:17:07, Patrick's 8 2:43:28, Rob's 8 2:53:28, Janet's 8 2:54:03, cado's 7 2:54:24, Patrick's 7 3:06:45, Rob's 7 3:07:14, Janet's 7 3:18:53

Remap Radio – Game of the Year (Part 1)

The Chicago Bears are not in the playoffs—yet. Hope springs eternal, but in a lost season for Rob and Patrick’s own team, there’s a lot to like in this year’s NFL playoffs. Before talking about this weekend’s games, the two discussed the losers from the last round, and why the much-vaunted NFC North fell apart so quickly. A quick note: we recorded this ahead of the Bears announcing they were hiring Ben Johnson, but reports suggest Patrick started squealing.

Sports! – Poor Lamar

It’s just a podcast, Michael, how long could it take to record? Well, when it comes to Remap walking through its game of the year lists, it means many more hours than we anticipated. Join Janet, Rob, Patrick, and Cado as they continue to climb the discourse ladder that is their top 10 lists. But first, we reflect on how we’re all wrestling with entering another Trump administration. You’re welcome to skip that discussion, if you’d like; it’s all contained in the podcast’s first hour.

Discussed: The inauguration 1:46, Politics Chat Done 49:41, Cado's honorable Mention 2 50:42, Patrick's honorable Mention 2 56:55, Spoiler Zone 1:03:40, Rob's extra game 1:08:04, Janet's honorable Mention 2 1:16:59, Cado's 6 1:22:26, Patrick's 6 1:33:51, Rob's 6 1:34:48, Janet's 6 2:06:38, Cado's 5 2:18:12, Patrick's 5 2:49:23, Rob's 5 2:49:41, Janet's 5 2:50:01, Cado's 4 2:50:25, Patrick's 4 3:04:18, Rob's 4 3:13:47, Janet's 4 3:27:50

Remap Radio – Game of the Year (Part 2)

On a recent episode of Remap Radio, we talked about a horrifying story of abuse, manipulation, and exploitation at an outsourcing studio used by a number of high-profile video game companies. That video was produced by People Make Games, a terrific YouTube channel that specializes in video games reporting. Recently, Patrick had a chance to chat with People Make Games co-founder Chris Bratt about outsourcing, video game journalism, and much more.

Remap Interview - Chris Bratt (People Make Games)

This is it. The grand finale. What started as worries about filling a single podcast had become a trilogy of podcasts about the last year in video games. There are some fun surprises, some not-so-shocking overlap, and plenty of great discussions about the last year in video games. Next week, we return to your regularly scheduled Remap Radio. Onward to some new games!

Discussed: Cado Honerable Mention 6:29, Patrick Honerable Mention 9:04, Janet Honorable Mention 20:51, Rob's Honerable Mention 27:41, Rob's Actual Honerable Mention 32:10, Cado's #3 42:52, Patrick's #3 54:47, Rob's #3 1:04:45, Janet's #3 1:05:19, Cado's #2 1:05:43, Patrick's #2 1:35:35, Rob's #2 1:45:36, Janet's #2 2:00:01, Cado's #1 2:16:00, Patrick's #1 2:59:42, Janet's #1 3:03:06, Rob #1 3:26:53

Remap Radio – Game of the Year (Part 3)

Shift+F1 and NoClip's Danny O'Dwyer comes to chat with Patrick and Rob about the Enhanced Games, pro cycling, the other football, celebrity team owners, and Irish sports. We probably talked about even more stuff but honestly it just turned into a good sports hang-out and bounced around a lot with increasingly little structure. Oh but there was a really good listener-submitted quiz that the gang took on pro cycling terms! That was great.
