Raidercast

At Derby's 28th Tomb Raider celebration, a very special world-first event took place. Raidercast had the honour of interviewing TWO Lara Croft voice actresses live at the same time. Jonell and Judith, Lara and Lara.

In an unbelievable highpoint for Raidercast, I sat down to talk all things Lara Croft with Dallas Dickinson: Franchise General Manager for Tomb Raider. Get to know him, find out what it takes to be in charge of the whole franchise, and what he thinks about all things Tomb Raider past.

It's time to get excited about the future of the franchise! There are so, so many things in the works for Lara and Tomb Raider, so join me and Tomb Raider fans from around the world as we discuss what's to come. ---

Join me fresh off the back of my adventure across Mexico, as I explore how accurate Tomb Raider's presentation of Mexico, Aztec, and Maya civilisation is ingame vs reality. ---

Guests Laurie and Steve return to Raidercast in a special sequel to Season 2's Remakes and Ports episode - as the stars aligned, we now actually have remasters! Here are our breakdowns of things we love, things we don't, and things we'd love to see.

Marine Conservation and Tomb Raider Lara Croft faces many underwater beasties during her quests, however are these marine menaces actually misunderstood? I spoke to Tomb Raider fan and activist Bernardo Hautenne from Blue Religion, a marine conservation group based in Mexico, and asked how the game's creatures measure up to their real-life counterparts. Follow Bernardo: www.bluereligion.org https://www.instagram.com/bernardobluereligion/ ---

In this episode, I speak to clinical psychologist and Tomb Raider Dr Amy Goodrum about the positive benefits video games can have on players, and how the media's portrayal of video games as the cause of violent and aggressive behavior isn't as clear cut as they'd have us believe. ------- Follow Amy on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/arkraiderms --------

Well, we made it at last. Alfredo's TR3 journey has concluded, but you had many questions for him. We gathered a big bunch of them, combined some, and I fired them at him for a special episode. ---- If you'd like to support Alfredo's book crowdfund, check it out here: https://unbound.com/books/invisible-rainbows ---- Follow Alf at: https://twitter.com/DrCarpineti https://twitter.com/theAstroholic Follow Chris at: https://twitter.com/RaidercastPod​​ https://www.threads.net/@chriscarpineti https://www.instagram.com/raidercast/​​ https://www.instagram.com/chriscarpineti Raidercast Merch here: https://linktr.ee/raidercastmerch​​ If you enjoy my videos, consider helping fund future projects! https://ko-fi.com/raidercast

Happy twenty years of the Angel of Darkness!

Tomb Raider has a stellar lineup of diabolical villains. In this episode, myself and a special guest discuss a handful of the series ne'er-do-wells, and ask the question:

Welcome back to Raidercast! For the premiere of Season 2, I sat down for a world-first interview with the one and only Jonell Elliot, the voice of Lara Croft 1999-2003!

The S1 finale of Raidercast is for the community, by the community. A love letter to Tomb Raider and Lara Croft across the ages, with personal stories of the impact they've had on our lives. This is why the series is still important!

What if Lara Croft wasn't the star? In the Survivor timeline, Lara's father is massively important to the story. We investigate her 'daddy's issues', and ask what if we had a Tomb Raider game where he was the main character instead, and how would it work?

Our special guest in this episode is known for her Tomb Raider Twitch livestreams, cosplay, and fan art. We go on a journey to Lara's roots and examine how her character and motivations grew, evolved, and even outright changed over time. Melonie's channels can be found in the following places: http://twitch.tv/meloniemac http://youtube.com/meloniemac

How does Tomb Raider's depiction of demons and demonology compare to our real-world myths? This episode strayed into some pretty dark territory. I don't expect it'll actually give anyone nightmares, but some parts are chilling! Just don't listen in the dark, and don't go wandering off into any lakes if you think you can hear a baby crying, ok?

Venture back to the myths of ancient Egypt with a special guest, and behold the war of Horus and Set!

In this episode I'm going to blow the lid off an in-game conspiracy that was hidden in plain sight since the very beginning. Join me as I investigate the artefacts of Tomb Raider, the race behind them, and a grand unifying theory that ties everything together.

In this episode, Sacha Coward and I investigate some of the Tomb Raider series' monsters and the myths they're based on.

In this episode, I delve into Lara's debut adventure and investigate an unearthly civilisation from the dawn of time.

In this episode, I'm joined on the phone by my first special guest: Lara Croft's original voice actress, Shelley Blond, for a conversation about globetrotting, and Lara's relevance in 2020.

In this first episode, join me on a nostalgic adventure as I think back over my Tomb Raider journey from its roots until the present day.
