The Eve Reader Podcast

This episode consists of three Chronicles – The Early Days, The Breakout and The War Drones On. Together, these three stories tell the story of the Caldari State’s fight for independence from the Gallente Federation, and the heavy cost paid by both sides during this conflict. I thought this Chronicle would be especially appropriate, since […]

Today’s story is about a man living in the Ammatar Mandate. He watched as the Elders came to recover the Starkmanir tribe and he raged when the Amarr Empress destroyed the fleet of the Elders. He wants to awaken the feelings of patriotism and pride in those around him, to remind his brethren that they […]

In this story, a ship module designer named Lauder, driven by depression to the very brink, leaves his virtual reality workshop for a trip into a scenic asteroid. His trip has a very specific purpose, but he might just find something wholly unexpected on his journey. Long time fans may be wondering where I have […]

Life for the residents of a colony planet in Gallente low security space was enough of a challenge… and their planet was conquered by the Caldari military. The soldiers in the street and the presence of the new Caldari governor in power make it obvious to the newly conquered Gallente citizens that their planet is […]

A story this large needs to […]

Today’s Chronicle is perhaps the most famous of all of Eve’s backstories – the story of first contact between the Caldari State and the Jovian Directorate as well as the story of the first capsuleer. If a list ever existed consisting of the top five essential stories for understanding the lore of Eve, this chronicle […]

With the recent interest in the events surrounding the Kyonoke Pit (and at the request of a long time fan) I have recorded the chronicle Kyonoke Pit.

Today’s Chronicle gives us an insight into the mind of Tibus Heth, the man who rose to power as the de facto ruler of the Caldari State. Even the most powerful man in the State can find himself ultimately a victim of the very corruption he sought to fight. Here is a link to Episode […]

The Caldari State is managed, maintained and virtually ruled by its corporations.

Today’s Chronicle is about how one of the most nefarious systems in New Eden – Old Man Star – came by its name. Recently I received a request to put a short explanation at the beginning of each episode so the non lore oriented listeners can better understand the significance of the events in each […]

This episode is the story of a man with an unusual affinity for fixing machines and the torment he endures in return for his “gift.” Science-fiction settings tend to hand-wave unusual or mystic abilities as “psionics” or “abilities of the mind” but I found this story fascinating by directly addressing the question of what-lies-beyond. Here […]

Today’s episode is another double-feature of Chronicles – the full-length story “Speaks and Walks” along with the smaller story “Eye for an Eye.” Eye for an Eye was a fun little episode to record and gave me the chance to practice using sound effects recorded directly from the game. This was something that I did […]

This is another pair of shorter Chronicles, contrasting the differences between a regular starship crewman and a capsuleer pilot. These stories tie nicely together, beginning with ambition and ultimately with death – but a different ending, a different view of death for each of the characters involved. I’d like to thank Meo Fafard for helping […]

This episode is CCP Delegate Zero’s intense lore Chronicle, Inheritance. This is easily the longest Chronicle I have recorded – at just over fifty minutes, it is nearly twice as long as any other project I have tackled in the past. I appreciate your patience while this Chronicle was recorded and edited, and I hope […]

Today’s episode is the story of a scientist, his research and his unusual methods in conducting his study of the “Extinction Burst” concept. This is not an episode for the faint of heart! Be sure to stay for the very end of the episode for an explanation on why there are occasional delays between recordings! […]

Incursions – the defense of New Eden systems versus Sansha’s Nation – are an integral part of the game. But what does one look like? What would it feel like to be one of the helpless millions on the planet below, watching the terrifying force of the marauding Sansha invade their system… and the even […]

In the lore of New Eden, both the Amarr Empire and the Gallente Federation share an uncomfortable commonality – at one point in their histories, they were betrayed by a member of their leadership. Both the corrupt former Chamberlain of the Amarr and the former Grand Admiral of the Federation became hunted men within known […]

Last night I attended the Eve Lore Panel hosted by the folks at Hydrostatic Podcast. I was impressed by both the quality and the depth of lore analysis by panelists, and several times the “Prophecies of Macaper” were mentioned in connection to recent and upcoming events. Inspired by the enthusiasm of the panelists and the […]

Today’s episode involves a mining station under attack by marauding pirates and one man’s fight against them.

Here is a link to Episode […]

This episode – Intercession – is a recording of the grand prize winner of the Pod and Planet 2013 competition.
