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.

Just when we thought Rob was coming back—well, he got sick. Fortunately, we’ve still got Patrick, Chia, Janet, and Danika on this week’s episode of Remap Radio, where we recount our group’s sickness streak, react to the latest slate of nominees for The Game Awards, and remember legendary game developer Rebecca Heineman. Plus, we have a ton of games…

Content Warning: Discussion and Description of Assault and Domestic Abuse from around 58:53 to 1:16:42 We did it. We attended a Buffalo Bills game. For years, Rob and Patrick have joked about traveling to other cities to attend a football game and take in the local culture. This past weekend, it finally happened. There was tailgating, excessive amo…

Once again, the Chicago Bears have been involved in a very weird football game. But once again, they have prevailed in a game that, in years past, they would have lost. Is this real? Are the Bears actually good? The answer is probably somewhere in the middle, but amidst the stress, we’ll be thankful for the lack of heartbreak—for now, anyway. Plus,…

The Remap Crew really gets into the Halloween spirit, mostly by dying from laughter and being otherwise childish. After an appropriately somber news section discussing the massive Amazon layoffs, Microsoft's ridiculous profit margin targets, and moral at EA deteriorating after workers are forced to use AI, we try our best to talk about the games we…

We’re sad to report that Danika is struggling through the brutal norovirus at the moment, but fortunately, Janet’s returned from the whole “getting married” thing to join Patrick and Rob to chat about a recent slew of developments about how video games are using AI and how we should feel about it. We’ve also got Silksong updates from Janet (deep in…

On today's episode of Remap Radio, Danika's filling two pairs of shoes while Chia and Janet are out. Things get a bit unhinged as we veer into unexplored territory talking about jack-off bots. We also discuss Remedy's recent profit warning, friend-slop, game cancellations, the beauty and terror of palace intrigue, and more. Discussed: Jack-off bots…

Scheduling issues were going to prevent a full Sports! Recording this week, but Rob and Patrick privately committed to hopping on a microphone for a little bit if things went sideways—good or bad—for their beloved Bears. Now, the only question on their minds is: how BACK are they? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Priva…

What a joy to say these words: welcome back, Danika! On the latest episode of Remap Radio, our old friend Danika Harrod is here to make Rob feel uncomfortable, bring up sexy Labubu during unexpected moments, and plenty more.

Where else to begin than trying to understand the wild news that Electronic Arts is becoming a private company largely because of Saudi Arabia? We live in…well, we live in times. We truly do. Join Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Chia as they try to understand the nature of modern soft political power, the future of EA, and more. Elsewhere, Patrick’s “fini…

While most people are talking about playing Ghosts of Yotei, we’re still trying to figure out why the head of Sucker Punch wasn’t prepared for a basic question about firing someone over Charlie Kirk. Join Patrick, Chia, Janet, and Rob as they wonder what it means for Xbox hardware prices to keep rising, plus (more) thoughts on Silksong, Hell Is Us,…

Despite Patrick’s best efforts, Rob doesn’t suddenly believe one dominant win over a pathetic Dallas Cowboys team means it’s Super Bears Super Bowl. Alas, we still find much to chat about when it comes to the institutional rot at our favorite sports team and the perhaps not-so-shocking amount of NFL teams that decided Charlie Kirk was worth making …

Here's a preview of this week's HOA episode! It finally happened: Rob moved into his house! There are always surprises when you move.

Join Patrick as he puts his head in his hands and becomes increasingly anxious h…

There are so many video games out right now, so we had a genius idea: an entire podcast exclusively focused on the video games we’re playing. What a concept, right? Join Patrick, Janet, Chia, and special guest Renata Price as they work through a gauntlet of video games, including Despelote, Hades 2, Cronos: The New Dawn, Hollow Knight, Silksong (sp…

Every year, Rob and I hype ourselves into believing, like all good fans do, this could be the year team puts it together. The two hours we spent talking about the upcoming NFL season—and obviously, the Chicago Bears—was not that. We're becoming better, sadder, more realistic fans, baby!

Content Warning for Discussion of depictions of Suicide and Self Harm from approximately 55:48 to 1:01:12 Rob's delighted by Mafia: The Old Country, not in the least because you can equip Catholic relics for special buffs.

Renata Price joins Rob and Chia on this episode of Remap Radio. Ren has been busy playing four different Monster Hunter games basically simultaneously. Chia is back from Gen Con, and with Patrick on his European vacation, that means it's time to talk way too much about board games. Rob's loving his time in F1 '25, and he and Ren dive deep on F1 tal…

It’s been nearly two months since the launch of the Switch 2. With the release of Donkey Kong Bananza, it felt like a good time to have a long and focused discussion on what Nintendo is trying to accomplish with the Switch 2, why the company feels a little more boring these days, and what it means to conceptualize a future without figures like Miya…
