Podcasts about Squid Game

Microsoft just handed the next mainline Halo to Activision, and two guys who ran a Call of Duty show for years have thoughts. Raz has been saying for five years that Halo should have made a battle royale, and he explains why it might already be too late. Jake makes the case that Halo is in such a bad spot that new developers can't make it worse, and asks what Call of Duty's monetization playbook will do to it. Then Warzone's new operator skin toggle: MW4 lets you swap every Nicki Minaj and Squid Game skin for a grounded military operator, but only on your screen. Is that the best of both worlds, or a way to please nobody? Plus Call of Duty getting Community Noted, MW4's locked carry-forward guns, and the rumored Game Pass tier with ads. GTA 6's $400 collector's edition doesn't come with GTA 6. We go through every item in the box, and it turns out to be a cocaine bundle. Rockstar's Miami takeover, the city council vote on GTA 6 beach umbrellas, and whether this is the first video game that could actually move crime numbers. Also: the WARDOGS price increase drama, Sombra moving to support in Overwatch, and Arc Raiders adding a PvE-only mode. 0:00 Intro 3:11 Patreon news and the hangout recap 8:51 Raz on Twitch and Pathfinder 10:30 Why Raz always plays evil 15:05 The BG3 dog dilemma 16:36 Remember Craigslist? 17:42 Halo is a Call of Duty studio now 20:07 Halo should have made a battle royale 22:46 Can Activision save Halo? 26:55 Bring back Forge mode 33:35 First CoD thing in the next Halo 35:57 The Halo show and video game movies 41:10 Obsidian, Rare and the Xbox shuffle 42:24 Is Xbox still a console company? 43:40 Game Pass with ads 48:27 Warzone's operator skin toggle 50:16 MW4's locked carry-forward guns 54:43 Call of Duty gets Community Noted 1:00:35 Would we turn the toggle on? 1:03:16 GTA 6's $400 collector's edition 1:05:40 It's a cocaine bundle 1:12:43 Rockstar's Miami takeover 1:16:01 Miami Beach votes on GTA 6 ads 1:20:37 Spotify x GTA 6 1:23:56 The biggest entertainment launch ever? 1:25:11 Why everyone plays evil in GTA 1:26:04 Does GTA 6 marketing even matter? 1:28:46 WARDOGS price hike drama 1:31:47 Sombra moves to support 1:37:18 Arc Raiders adds a PvE mode 1:41:00 Abandon hope, Arc Raiders fans 1:46:51 Wrap-up: Halo of Duty _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

A provocative examination of the ways our economy has been rigged by financialization, and the importance of games to our dangerous political moment. In an age when capitalism feels like an unwinnable game, extreme reactionary ideas and politics are on the rise. The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, Squid Game and much of reality TV are cultural reflections of a society of relentless, lonely competition, where each of us must become a player: a savvy risk-taker, a miniature corporation of one. But in a gamed economy we players feel played, and new forms of fascism promise harsh justice and revenge. This book theorizes the connections between the financialization of the capitalist economy, the gamification of our lives, and the rising threat of a uniquely twenty-first century form of fascistic politics. From vicious online swarmings to the QAnon conspiracy fantasy, from the siege of the US Capitol to the abuse of “free speech,” The Player and the Played: From Gamed Capitalism to 21st-Century Fascism with Max Haiven (MIT Press, 2026) analyzes the “playgrom” as a new form of extremist violence. Max Haiven explores how “derivative fascisms” both repeat and reinvent the terrors of the past in a financialized form. How have we learned to love the cheats who have power but loathe the cheats without it? It unpacks the worldbuilding (and world-destroying) urge of Silicon Valley. And it poses the urgent question: what is the antifascist game?Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since the early 1980s. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds three PhDs in game studies (LMU Munich, University of Passau & University of Vechta). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm HNU, Germany, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal TITEL kulturmagazin for the game section, and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter Game Studies Watchlist.

This is an open access book, published September 15 2026 by MIT Press. In an age when capitalism feels like an unwinnable game, extreme reactionary ideas and politics are on the rise. The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, Squid Game, and much of reality TV are cultural reflections of a society of relentless, lonely competition, where each of us must become a player: a savvy risk-taker, a miniature corporation of one. But in a gamed economy we players feel played, and new forms of fascism promise harsh justice and revenge. This book theorizes the connections between the financialization of the capitalist economy, the gamification of our lives, and the rising threat of a uniquely twenty-first century form of fascistic politics. From vicious online swarmings to the QAnon conspiracy fantasy, from the siege of the US Capitol to the abuse of “free speech,” The Player and the Played analyzes the “playgrom” as a new form of extremist violence. Max Haiven explores how “derivative fascisms” both repeat and reinvent the terrors of the past in a financialized form. How have we learned to love the cheats who have power but loathe the cheats without it? It unpacks the worldbuilding (and world-destroying) urge of Silicon Valley. And it poses the urgent question: What is the antifascist game? Max Haiven is Canada Research Chair in the Radical Imagination at Lakehead University and author of many books, including most recently Palm Oil and Revenge Capitalism. He is the designer of the board game Billionaires & Guillotines. He was called “perhaps the most theoretically creative radical thinker of the moment” by the late David Graeber.

“I've been, so one of my writer friends who I published, a guy called Ian Kerner, he was one of the producers behind “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley and “Stay Another Day” by Seventeen and Kylie. He was a big producer, and I took him to Eurovision. He was the first person I went with, and he turned to me and said, ‘This is the biggest thing I've ever done.' And I'm sitting there thinking, ‘But you were number one in America with Rick Astley.' Yet he's saying that he meant the show. The show was, ‘I've never been, it's like the Olympics. It's that big.' And then you want to go back every year. Every time I take someone new, they're like, ‘I'll come back next year. I'm trying to get in next year.'” – Greig WattsThis episode's guest is one half of the UK-based writing, production and publishing team DWB, and in recent years, he's successfully hosted several songwriting camps, catering to Asia and Eurovision. The triumph of these camps and the songs they produced has established him as an expert in the fields of songwriting for the Eurovision Song Contest. Since 2016, he's supervised eighteen Eurovision entries across eleven consecutive years, along with approximately 80 national finalists within that time frame. His expertise has also led to him becoming a sought-after conference speaker, panelist, and moderator; he was the Music Consultant for Eurovision for the BBC for 2019, and he's just released his first book, Keeping the Dream Alive, which has already become an Amazon bestseller.In this conversation, we explore the moments when he nearly walked away from music, the power of reconnecting with the sounds that first moved him, and why he believes creativity is less about ego and more about connection. His name is Greig Watts, and we talk about using Eurovision as a strategic launchpad and how understanding the business of music can protect the soul of it. If you've wondered how sound becomes strategy, or how resilience turns into resonance, this episode is for you.And if you like what you hear and you want to support this podcast, there are a bunch of ways to do that at audiobrandingpodcast.com, including subscribing to the YouTube channel, the newsletter, writing a review, or buying me a coffee. Because this takes a lot of coffee. Thanks so much.(00:00) – Greig's Transition to SongwritingOur conversation starts off with Greig's early memories of sound, particularly how, as a toddler, Manfred Mann's “Do Wah Diddy Diddy” became part of the soundtrack of his life. “Whenever I hear that song,” he explains, “my great-grandmother Goodman pops back into my head, and I can only have been three at the time, but it's a real, definite memory, and I think I've got lots of those memories.” Greig tells us how his career in sound began, including how he turned down a record deal as the lead singer to follow his true passion. “What I really wanted was the songwriting,” he tells us. “It wasn't to be a front person… I was kind of getting engaged to my first wife, and I was like, I don't really want to go to Japan and be a front person in a band. I want to be a songwriter.”(14:05) – Eurovision and the Global MarketGreig tells us about his work with Eurovision and what it's taught him about bringing new musical acts to the world. “We organized our own songwriting camp,” he recalls, “and asked people to come. Probably had thirty people out there, and that's how we got our first entry for Norway. And since then, we've had an entry every year, and actually we've had 18 entries in 11 years.” We discuss his work with boy bands, J-pop, and K-pop artists, and how the international pop scene's shifted in recent years. “Japanese [artists] don't tend to come out of Japan so much,” he explains. “It's a big market, they're not so bothered about that. But Korean culture, the government is funding Korean culture coming out. That's why we're getting, you know, Squid Game. That's why we get lots of Korean films.”(28:41) – Greig's Reflections on CreativityWe discuss how Greig's career almost took a turn away from sound, and what it took to bring him back into the industry. “Eventually, I kind of felt I needed to take a year off,” he tells us, “but I wasn't going to say that. I kind of knew it, and eventually, about two years later, my wife said, ‘You need to finish now. You need to go and take a year off.'" He talks about his foray into banking, and the breakthrough that cemented his career as a songwriter. “We did say, give me a year and if I'm not making money by the end of the year, then I go back to the bank… On month twelve, I got offered a job to set up a publishing department of a record label, which meant as a songwriter, I suddenly had income.”Episode SummaryGrieg's shift from band member to songwriter and music consultant.His insights into the Asian music market and its dynamics.Our discussion on how sound influences our feelings and memories.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss the valuable lessons his grandfather shared with him and others in his life, how neurodiversity can almost be an advantage when it comes to certain industries, and why being the best songwriter doesn't necessarily lead to the most success.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Puntata a cura di Jacopo Bulgarini d'Elci e Francesca Sarah Toich.Come è cambiato il racconto della ricchezza in tv negli ultimi decenni? In questo episodio del podcast (registrato a inizio 2022) esploriamo la trasformazione del tema attraverso serie e show degli ultimi decenni: soldi e famiglie, da Dallas a Succession.Gli oscenamente ricchi di Succession, così come quelli di Billions o di Squid Game, non assomigliano infatti più ai ricchi “normali” di serie storiche e iconiche degli anni ‘80 come Dinasty o Dallas, o a soap interminabili come Beautiful. Qualcosa è cambiato, e radicalmente, nella rappresentazione della ricchezza e della sua influenza sulle famiglie. Come mostrano anche altre serie: Big Little Lies, The Undoing, The White Lotus. Nelle serie tv la ricchezza, come raccontiamo nel podcast, sembra sempre più una ricetta per la miseria.“Temi” è il format del podcast di Mondoserie che esplora le trasformazioni dell'immaginario seriale televisivo nel tempo, attraverso più serie e show.Leggi il nostro articolo su The White Lotus: https://www.mondoserie.it/the-white-lotus/ Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/  Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/Musica nella puntata:March of the Mind di Kevin MacLeod, concessa in uso tramite licenza Creative Commons Attribuzione 4.0. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Fonte: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100167Artista: http://incompetech.com/

Komm' in den Salon. Es gibt ihn via Webplayer & RSS-Feed (zum Hören im Podcatcher deiner Wahl, auch bei Apple Podcasts und Spotify). Alle Infos dazu: neuezwanziger.de Vollständige Shownotes mit allen Quellen: https://smalltalk.neuezwanziger.de/t/715 Der Sommersalon 2026, aufgezeichnet am 22. August im Saalbau Bornheim in Frankfurt vor über 600 Zuschauern. Wolfgang hat ein vierstündiges Podcast-Interview des AfD-Spitzenkandidaten Ulrich Siegmund durchgearbeitet, Stefan nimmt die beschlossene Nachrichtendienstreform auseinander, und zum Schluss geht es in den ZDF-Fernsehgarten. 00:00:00 Begrüßung Stefan und Wolfgang eröffnen den Abend aus dem Saalbau Bornheim und gehen die Themen durch. Als nächste Salon-Lektüre kündigen sie Tom Krebs' „Kapital und Krise" für Mitte September an. 00:09:48 Ulrich Siegmund Wolfgang spielt Ausschnitte aus dem vierstündigen Gespräch, das der AfD-Spitzenkandidat für Sachsen-Anhalt dem Podcast „ungeskriptet" von Ben Berndt gegeben hat — Ausschnitte, in denen kaum eine radikale Position vorkommt: Auf einen Stinkefinger kämen 500 bis 800 erhobene Daumen, alle machten Fehler, mit einzelnen Grünen und Linken könne man ein Bier trinken. Wolfgangs Lesart: Die AfD fährt zweigleisig, Hetze auf der einen und Wohlfühlton auf der anderen Seite, und beide Seiten stecken in derselben Wählerperson. Stefan hält Siegmund für AfD-untypisch — halb so alt wie das übliche Personal, mit einem Lob auf Markt und Freiheit. Zum Programm nennt Siegmund Einsparungen von 300 bis 600 Millionen Euro, um beitragsfreie Kindergärten und kostenloses Schulessen zu finanzieren; Wolfgang bezeichnet das als klassisch sozialdemokratische Politik. 01:03:21 Die Geheimdienstreform Stefan spielt Christian Sievers' Anmoderation im „heute journal" zum Kabinettsbeschluss über die Nachrichtendienste ein, in der die Trennung von Polizei und Geheimdienst als Konsequenz aus Gestapo und Nazizeit erklärt wird. Das von Innenminister Alexander Dobrindt vorgelegte Paket begründet Kanzleramtsministerin Nina Warken mit hybriden Angriffen; künftig darf der BND Systeme hacken und der Verfassungsschutz im Einzelfall Wohnungen durchsuchen. Stefans Linie: Es entstehen keine neuen Befugnisse, bestehende wandern von der Polizei zu den Diensten — und für die Polizei in Sachsen-Anhalt könnte künftig Siegmund zuständig sein. Aus einem Deutschlandfunk-Podcast folgen Passagen mit Falk Steiner und Marcus Pindur; Wolfgang hält dagegen, dass ihm das gegenwärtige Personal an diesen Hebeln bereits reicht. 01:36:33 Die Maschinen kommen Autonome Lieferfahrzeuge von DoorDash, 2,82 Millionen fahrerlose Lieferungen in Shenzhen binnen eines Monats, Drohnenshows mit 11.000 Fluggeräten und ein US-General, der einräumt, gegen Schwärme billiger Drohnen weder Sensorik noch Mittel zu haben. Wolfgang schließt daraus, nicht die Befürworter von Abrüstung seien die Phantasten. Dazu Roboter-Halbmarathon in Peking, Ernst Jüngers „Gläserne Bienen", eine Drohnenfabrik im Schiffscontainer und der Milliardenauftrag an Helsing und Stark, den ein ukrainischer Vizekommandeur als wenig hilfreich bezeichnet. 02:01:56 Fernsehgarten Wolfgang hat mehrere Ausgaben gesichtet, weil sich daran ablesen lasse, was in Deutschland als Normalität gelte. Mallorca-Ausgabe mit Elton, 50 Jahre Biene Maja, eine Publikumsgruppe, in der alle Frauen „Gabi" heißen, der 90-jährige Engelbert Humperdinck als Ausnahme und Ralf Möller mit Gottschalk-Vibes. Zum Schluss eine „Reise nach Jerusalem" um 500 Euro Reisegutschein — für Wolfgang der Verteilungskampf in Miniatur, für Stefan an Squid Game erinnernd. 02:29:27 Verabschiedung Wolfgang kündigt an, man sehe sich Ende des Monats wieder, Stefan verabschiedet sich mit „Haut rein". full Wolfgang und Stefan treffen euch in Frankfurt no Stefan Schulz und Wolfgang M. Schmitt 950

A class of ninth graders. One deserted island. Three days. One survivor. What could possibly go wrong? Enter the deadly world of Kinji Fukasaku's Battle Royale, the controversial Japanese film that forced a class of students to fight to the death and went on to influence generations of movies and television. The guys break down the story, brutal kills, standout performances, including Takeshi Kitano's unforgettable turn as Kitano, and the movie's mix of dark humor, violence, tragedy, and social commentary. They also dig into the controversy surrounding the film, its troubled path to audiences, and the themes beneath all the bloodshed: authoritarian control, teenage rebellion, trust, betrayal, and the loss of childhood innocence. Plus, they debate the inevitable comparisons to The Hunger Games and Squid Game, test their survival skills with Battle Royale trivia, hear from listeners, and decide whether this cult favorite lives up to its reputation. Grab your randomly assigned backpack, check your explosive collar and choose your allies carefully. The battle is on.

Will Paramount actually leave California? Will RamRod ever bee a thing? Will Nicholas Hoult be a good Gilderoy Lockhart? Is Netflix the right place for a GTA extended look? Why was there a Giant Rat outside of the Bethesda office? And will Jim Carrey really be George Jetson? The Answer to all those questions and more in this weeks episode.

The guys are on vacation, but the show must go on! We recorded this listener question episode just before heading out, covering everything from the best back-to-back coaster combinations to which IP should come to the parks next, whether Disney would ever tear down the Matterhorn, and which rides sound way better than they actually are. Plus, EB shares two fun stories from a recent Kentucky Kingdom visit — including a station crew member who had absolutely had enough, and a Flying Fox scavenger hunt with a surprisingly solid prize.

Merch - https://nonmembersshop.com/We kick off the episode by celebrating World Ocean Day and establishing a new strict deep-sea mandate: scientists need to completely stop discovering new, terrifying ocean creatures because humanity has officially hit its maximum capacity for unknowns. Erin details her highly specific ocean rules, explaining that she will only step foot in clear water during low tide because anything resembling high-tide seaweed, jellyfish, or a slimy freshwater pond is an absolute scare. Still recovering from our wild Las Vegas weekend and battling a massive wave of Sunday Scaries, Erin recaps a local backyard pig roast shindig she attended.Shifting over to fitness, Erin gives an exciting week seven update on her "Pull-Up Revolution" program. Because traveling threw off her routine, she had to smash multiple workouts back-to-back, leaving her body completely wrecked but yielding massive progress. This progress prompts her to recount an hour-long argument on a Vegas casino floor with triathlete coach Noel Mulkey, who claimed she could do a pull-up right now using "mind over matter".Mike then details a birthday trip to "Activate," a high tech indoor playground that feels like stepping straight into a Mr. Beast or Squid Game challenge. He spent an hour and a half jumping over glowing spy lasers, memorizing patterns on flashing floor tiles, and aggressively chucking balls at asteroids on a screen to clear a team scoreboard. Erin explains that her favorite part of the day is nesting in her couch corner to play Fortnite duos with Dan. We debate the game's massive age demographic and its chaotic mechanics, from dropping out of a flying bus to taking "magical trinkets" off defeated players.In major sports news, we analyze the Enhanced Games dropping a massive announcement: a whopping $10 million bounty for any athlete who can officially break Usain Bolt's legendary 2008 100-meter world record of 9.58 seconds. This leads into a massive wave of track and pop culture news, starting with the International Olympic Committee president going viral for a tone-deaf statement against paying Olympic athletes prize money. We look forward to the tech billionaire funded Athlos women's only track event in New York City this October, and celebrate Flavor Flav securing approval from Las Vegas commissioners to host "She Weekend", a massive, free public block party on the Vegas strip this July to support women's sports.We then dive into the courtroom drama where the Chicago Cubs are suing the owners of the iconic "Wrigley Rooftops" bleachers across the street, attempting to stop them from selling private vantage point tickets after their historical 17% revenue sharing agreement expired in 2024. While the Cubs claim lost revenue, the rooftop owners claim property rights, prompting us to mock the stadium's dry, $20 chicken tenders. We wrap up the episode with a heartwarming "No Bad, No Sad" story about a neighborhood Pet Walk Tour in Fairmont, Philly, where community members gather to spot cats in windows and hand out golden retriever high fives to build community. 

Bela Bajaria is Chief Content Officer at Netflix, where she oversees a $20 billion budget for content accessible in 190 countries worldwide. In this episode, Bela speaks about how Netflix operates globally—including through 27 country offices developing regional content—and how some of those shows (such as Squid Game, Adolescence, and K-Pop Demon Hunters) become global phenomena. A global citizen herself, Bela was born in the United Kingdom to Indian parents before spending part of her childhood in Zambia and relocating to California, where her family started a car wash business. It was there that Bela learned the value of hard work and developed her deep love of movies and television. Bela references her parents, as well as television executive Nancy Tellem, as profound influences on her life and career.

Episode 33 of Talking Shit About Nothing is here, and this one's buzzing Jimmy and Richie sit down with Dr. Rick Mercurio (Player 232 from Squid Game: The Challenge) for a hilarious and surprisingly deep conversation about reality TV, beekeeping, family, tattoos, pizza, fig trees, and living life to the fullest. From surviving Squid Game challenges to protecting 13 bee hives in Pennsylvania, Dr. Rick shares incredible stories about honeybees, bears, endurance running, and why pollinators matter more than ever. Plus: behind-the-scenes Squid Game stories, the famous Ganbu Gang, homemade gelato, and a whole lot of laughs. Protect the bees, plant some flowers, and enjoy the ride.

Hallyu - the Korean Wave - is taking over. With dramas and films like Squid Game and K-Pop Demon Hunters topping the Netflix charts, K-beauty products filling TikTok feeds and chemist shop shelves, and the global tour of the biggest K-Pop band in the world, BTS, about to begin, there's no getting away from it's impact. In this programme Jaega Wise explores how this fascination with Korean culture is driving the popularity of Korean food across the UK. She chats with celebrity chef and author, Judy Joo and meets the restaurant owner catering for some of the most well-known K-Pop bands in the world. Jaega also takes a look at the products hitting our supermarket shelves, and finds out why the sharing concept is central to the ethos of Korean food.Presented by Jaega Wise and produced by Tory Pope for BBC Audio in Bristol

Andy Rueda Talks Survivor 50 Survivor 50 brings explosive gameplay and unpredictable twists as Rob Cesternino is joined by returning player Andy Rueda for a deep-dive Survivor Recap. Right from the start, Rob and Andy unpack a game-changing twist that rocked the latest episode, comparing it to iconic moments from both “Squid Game” and the Survivor canon. With shifting alliances and one of the wildest Tribal Councils in years, this episode puts the strategic and social skills of the cast to the ultimate test. Rob and Andy dig into the immediate fallout of a twist where pairs are forced together under mysterious circumstances—calling back to “festy besties” but with a Survivor flavor. They debate why fans overwhelmingly loved the twist and measure how much the drama stemmed from both strong design and the “satisfying” outcome of a major player's exit. The conversation also highlights how the misdirection around idols and the Shot in the Dark adds to the round's suspense. Rob gets Andy's take on big Jury movements, “mayor of Ponderosa” myths, and who's actually controlling the middle of the game, especially as Cirie, Ozzy, and Rizo play both sides. They spotlight how Cirie continues to steer the story, somehow dodging target after target, while Coach delivers classic gold in his fourth run. – The new duo-based twist and why it delivered high drama – Idol trickery, risk management, and successful (or missed) Shot in the Dark plays – Cirie’s masterful social game and why no one seems ready to target her – Rizo's dream run as the cast's “superfan” and why he's unexpectedly beloved – What makes a strong “mayor of Ponderosa”—and whether that “power” really shapes jury votes As alliances shift and power players like Rick Devens deploy strategic chaos, Rob and Andy wonder who can maintain control in such a fluid game, and whether Cirie’s impeccable run can continue through the looming fire-making challenge.

Andy Rueda Talks Survivor 50 Survivor 50 brings explosive gameplay and unpredictable twists as Rob Cesternino is joined by returning player Andy Rueda for a deep-dive Survivor Recap. Right from the start, Rob and Andy unpack a game-changing twist that rocked the latest episode, comparing it to iconic moments from both “Squid Game” and the Survivor canon. With shifting alliances and one of the wildest Tribal Councils in years, this episode puts the strategic and social skills of the cast to the ultimate test. Rob and Andy dig into the immediate fallout of a twist where pairs are forced together under mysterious circumstances—calling back to “festy besties” but with a Survivor flavor. They debate why fans overwhelmingly loved the twist and measure how much the drama stemmed from both strong design and the “satisfying” outcome of a major player's exit. The conversation also highlights how the misdirection around idols and the Shot in the Dark adds to the round's suspense. Rob gets Andy's take on big Jury movements, “mayor of Ponderosa” myths, and who's actually controlling the middle of the game, especially as Cirie, Ozzy, and Rizo play both sides. They spotlight how Cirie continues to steer the story, somehow dodging target after target, while Coach delivers classic gold in his fourth run. – The new duo-based twist and why it delivered high drama – Idol trickery, risk management, and successful (or missed) Shot in the Dark plays – Cirie’s masterful social game and why no one seems ready to target her – Rizo's dream run as the cast's “superfan” and why he's unexpectedly beloved – What makes a strong “mayor of Ponderosa”—and whether that “power” really shapes jury votes As alliances shift and power players like Rick Devens deploy strategic chaos, Rob and Andy wonder who can maintain control in such a fluid game, and whether Cirie’s impeccable run can continue through the looming fire-making challenge. With alliances redrawn and big Jury threats exposed, who will rally the numbers and who could fall victim to their own Survivor mythos?

Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/Analytic⁠Join The Normandy For Ad-Free NME, Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here:⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment, Analytic Dreamz delivers a complete breakdown of Garena Free Fire, one of the world's most successful mobile battle royale games. Developed by 111dots Studio in Vietnam and published by Garena under parent company Sea Limited, Free Fire launched in beta on December 4, 2017, with a full release on December 8, 2017. The game is built exclusively for Android and iOS, optimized for low-end smartphones to target emerging markets in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and other mobile-first regions.Free Fire features a fast-paced core loop where up to 50 players drop onto an island, loot, and fight to be the last survivor or team standing, ending with the iconic “Booyah!” victory call. Matches last approximately 10 minutes, significantly shorter than most competitors. Gameplay includes third-person shooting with mobile-optimized controls, vehicles, stealth mechanics such as jumping, crawling, and proning, plus the unique Gloo Wall grenade for instant cover. A dual resource system of HP and EP (Energy Points for passive healing) adds tactical depth, alongside environmental factors like terrain and weather.The game stands out with a deep character system featuring over 50 characters, each with active or passive abilities that can be leveled and combined. Players can engage in Battle Royale (solo, duo, or squad), Clash Squad (4v4 round-based), Lone Wolf, custom rooms, and limited-time modes. As a live-service title, Free Fire delivers frequent updates, seasonal content, and major collaborations with anime, Netflix IPs like Squid Game, sports, and pop culture. Progression revolves around ranked climbing, character and pet grinding, and event unlocks, with no traditional single-player campaign—story elements are delivered through animations, comics, and the Free Fire Universe lore.Monetization centers on in-app purchases, cosmetics, skins, bundles, and battle passes. By 2021, the game had surpassed 1 billion downloads on Google Play, becoming the first mobile battle royale to reach that milestone. It generated over $1 billion in lifetime revenue by late 2019 and ranked among the highest-grossing games globally. In 2024, it earned approximately $408 million with 284 million downloads. Player metrics peaked at 150 million daily active users around 2021, later stabilizing at around 100 million monthly active users and 15–35 million daily active users in recent years.Analytic Dreamz examines Free Fire's unique differentiators, including its accessibility on low-end devices, short-session design, and hybrid hero-ability system that blends battle royale with character skills. The segment also addresses known challenges such as cheating and hacking issues, pay-to-win perceptions, and the 2022 ban in India due to national security and privacy concerns. The latest 2025–2026 Winterlands – Dreamspace event introduces snowboards for faster traversal, the dynamic Dreamport airship controlled by a Yeti, festive cosmetics, fireworks, and new rewards tied to the New Year period.This segment provides a comprehensive look at Free Fire's massive scale, mobile-first strategy, live-service model, esports presence, and cultural impact, highlighting why it remains a dominant force in the global mobile gaming space despite ongoing controversies.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On 18th December 2025, the offices of two of Bangladesh's biggest newspapers, The Daily Star and Prothom Alo, were surrounded by mobs, attacked and set on fire. At The Daily Star, journalists were forced to take shelter on the roof of the building as smoke billowed through the lift shaft. They were rescued hours later by the military and many required hospital treatment. The BBC's Soutik Biswas went to Dhaka to talk to journalists caught up in the violence and to investigate the social media posts that may have driven it. Hallyu, or the Korean wave, is what South Koreans call the international success of TV shows like Squid Game and K-Pop Demon Hunters. The phenomenon has grown exponentially since the 1990s, encompassing South Korean music, TV, drama, food and cosmetics. Boy band BTS have been central to the Hallyu craze since they got together in 2010. Their decision to go on hiatus so they could complete their military service sparked debate in South Korea. Now, as they prepare for a huge return concert in Seoul, Suhnwook Lee of BBC Korean joins the online queue for tickets. The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts. Recent episodes have investigated Russia's youth armies and how they make soldiers of Ukrainian children; featured the BBC team who were the first journalists to the site of the Nigerian school kidnappings and reflected the effects of internet blackouts in Iran, Uganda and India. If you want to know more about Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the legacy of Hugo Chavez; or how Vladimir Putin's network of deep cover spies operates; or why Donald Trump signed an executive order granting white South Africans asylum in the US, we have all those stories and more.Presented by Irena TaranyukProduced by Laura Thomas, Caroline Ferguson and Hannah Dean.

Welcome back to your favorite daily comedy show, where absolutely nothing stays on topic and somehow everything still works.Today's chaos kicks off with a brand-new listener game: Two Truths and a Lie. The twist? You call in. You try to fool us. And if you trick the majority of the studio, you win tickets. Simple. Clean. Probably not. Because the Rizz Show crew immediately proves we are wildly overconfident in our lie-detecting abilities. Shocking.From there, things take a hard left into movie talk — including whether The Substance is a safe airplane watch (spoiler: absolutely not unless you enjoy strangers thinking you're watching something wildly inappropriate). Then we spiral into HBO's DTF St. Louis and whether the show actually understands St. Louis… or just Googled “Arch” and called it a day. Why does every character say “St. Louis” like they're being paid per mention? And why does every window apparently have a perfect Arch view? We investigate. Loudly.In Crap on Celebrities, we unpack:Christina Applegate ditching Brad Pitt for Sebastian Bach (imagine that car ride home).Jim Carrey's new face and the internet screaming “clone conspiracy.”Billy Idol kicking heroin by switching to crack (which is… a strategy?).Billy Corgan's theory that rock music was intentionally dialed down by shadowy forces.Why country music is suddenly dominating everything.Ozzfest's return.Squid Game's “celebrity” edition (and we use the term loosely).Basically, this daily comedy show covers celebrity news, pop culture commentary, music chaos, and weird news with the exact level of sarcasm you'd expect from grown adults arguing about recumbent bikes.And because we're nothing if not competitive, we end with listener showdowns in Two Truths and a Lie — proving once again that our audience is either wildly fascinating… or disturbingly good at lying.It's another beautifully unhinged daily comedy show from Rizz and the gang — serving up funny stories, entertainment gossip, St. Louis flavor, and just enough nonsense to make your commute slightly less painful.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
